I am a statistician working as a senior analyst at the Scientific Computing Group (VD) within the Center for Information Technology Services (USIT) at the University of Oslo (UiO). I received my dr.scient. degree (Ph.D.) in statistics from UiO in 2000. Recent research topics have included robust optimisation (robust design), classification and regression, especially applied to spectroscopic data and multispectral images.
