If I live consuming only electricity produced by nuclear power plants, the nuclear fuel required for my lifetime of personal electricity use fits in a 200 ml smoothie bottle.

In my PhD I study the behavior of CO2 during pipeline transportation, which is a stage required in Carbon Capture and Storage.

My PhD consists of working with a membrane-based structure for floating solar panels in the ocean.

During my PhD I will perform fundamental combustion research on carbon neutral and low carbon fuels for marine combustion engines.

The 2023 edition of Plastdagen (Plastic Day in English), held in Trondheim’s Dokkhuset, was a testament to the shared commitment of industry, academia, and scientific research to address the environmental impacts of plastics and pave the way for a sustainable future.
