- Mathematical quantum chemistry
- Scientific computing
Research
I am working closely with the participants of REGAL -- Regularized density-functional analysis, a research project funded by the European Research Council. See
- the project webpage: https://uni.oslomet.no/regal/
Teaching
- Autumn 25: MAMO3200 -- Simulation and visualization
- Spring 25 & 26: MAMO2200 -- Advanced models and computing
- Spring 25 & 26: BYFE1000 -- Mathematics 1000
Education

- Master of Science in Theoretical Physics, University of Oslo
Master's thesis titled SIC-POVMs -- Three Ways of Getting to the Bottom of Them.
Dissemination
I led the effort to organise the interdisciplinary workshop Entangled Visions at OsloMet in December 2025 centred around quantum physics, philosophy, dissemination, and the arts. The workshop gathered physicists, artists, philosophers of science, and others for a week of talks and concerts, among other activities.
