Svend Tollak Munkejord is chief scientist in multiphase flow modelling at SINTEF Energy Research, where he has been employed since 1998. He has worked within different research areas employing mathematical and numerical flow modelling and experiments, emphasizing the coupling of thermo and fluid dynamics. Munkejord has co-supervised ten PhD candidates. He has been an employee representative on the board of SINTEF Energy Research, and he currently leads the Tekna committee at the institute.
