Andreas Drolsum Haraldsrud

Andreas Drolsum Haraldsrud is an Associate Professor at the Department of Chemistry, University of Oslo. His academic affiliations include membership in the CCSE - Center for Computing in Science Education. He specializes in chemistry education, computational methods, and the application of simulations in understanding chemical concepts.

His research focuses on cognitive processes in chemistry education, particularly how computer simulations and AI influence learning. Key areas include biochemical simulations of lipids/proteins, soft material surface processes, and integrating lab techniques like confocal microscopy with computational methods (molecular dynamics, machine learning).

Teaching responsibilities include courses such as IN-KJM1900 (Programming for Chemists), KJM1140 (Biochemistry 1), and NAT3000 (Scientific Programming in School). He also engages in teacher training through Profag:VGS and general science education courses.

Recent publications emphasize educational technology assessment (Nordic Programming Test), feedback loops in simulations for learning, and computational approaches to chemical kinetics. His work bridges theory and practice, advocating for technology-enhanced STEM pedagogy.

No scientific awards are listed, but his contributions to curriculum development and educational research are notable. He advises on multiple interdisciplinary projects combining computational chemistry with biochemistry education. His research group affiliation indicates active participation in science education innovation.
