I received my MSc degree in physics from the University of Oslo i 2000 and my PhD degree in applied micro- and nanosystems from the University of Oslo in 2012. My PhD work focused on ”Micro Energy Harvesting from Ambient Motion – Modelling, Simulation and Design”. As an Associate professor at USN my responsibilities are as Head of USN Innovation Center and I conduct research activities focusing on electronics development for bidirectional closed-loop arm neuroprostheses. Previous experience include more than 10 years as a Research Scientist within the fields of microelectronics, electronics and integrated circuit design at SINTEF research institute, and 4 years as CTO in Next Signal focusing on Indoor Navigation and Positioning systems technology development.
