Anja Kohfeldt

Anja Kohfeldt is an Associate Professor at the University of Oslo, affiliated with the Centre for Space Sensors and Systems (CENSSS). She has served as a Space Project Manager at IDEAS since 2018, focusing on satellite payload development, space electronics, and radiation measurement technologies. Her expertise spans environmental qualification, opto-electronics, and semiconductor laser modules for space applications.

• Education

Her academic background includes a Master's in Physics (Microelectronics) from the University of Bergen (2010) and a Doctorate in Electronics/Opto-electronics from the Technical University of Berlin (2017). Her research interests emphasize sensor development, radiation detection, and instrumentation for space missions like ASIM and CENSSAT-1.

The 2024 CENSSAT-1 mission concept and gamma-ray neutron detector publications highlight her leadership in designing compact, robust space instruments. Earlier works on CZT detectors and MXGS sensors (2012-2019) demonstrate sustained contributions to spaceborne radiation measurement systems.

Kohfeldt collaborates extensively with international teams on projects like ASIM and participates in the Centre for Space Sensors and Systems (CENSSS). She teaches Sensor and Measurement Technology (FYS3231/FYS4231) at the University of Oslo.
