Senior researcher and project manager working with hydrodynamics and dynamical behaviour of ocean structures. I work in particular with the following topics: nonlinear hydrodynamic loads and mooring systems, floating wind turbines, and floating wind parks with shared mooring. I have experience with numerical methods, experimental methods, and have been driving the development of cyber-physical testing at SINTEF Ocean. I am currently leading the CYBERLAB project (NFR/KPN/2022-2025).
