Research scientist at SINTEF Energy Research and coordinator of the EU project HYPOWERGT, which demonstrates an industrial gas turbine running on 100% hydrogen. Manages national and international research projects. Researches hydrogen and ammonia combustion in gas turbines and marine engines, focusing on flame stability, thermoacoustic instabilities and emissions, using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), experiments and process simulation.
