• Current Affiliation: UiT The Arctic University of Norway
• Department: Clinical Medicine

Research Trends: Recent work emphasizes predictive modeling for pacemaker implantation after TAVR, longitudinal strain as a prognostic biomarker, and validation of echocardiographic imaging techniques. Earlier studies address antibiotic treatment practices in appendicitis and computational modeling for cardiac diagnostics.

Collaborations: Active in the Cardiovascular research group IKM, with partnerships across Norway and international institutions.
