Kort info
Space physics researcher with current work including physics-based modeling both for research and for forecasting Space weather conditions, including magnetosphere-ionosphere dynamics. Leading UiB's space weather research contribution to the European Space Agency's (ESA) Space Weather Network.
Forskning
My work includes physics-based modeling both for research and for forecasting Space weather conditions, including magnetospheric dynamics, ionospheric dynamics and perturbations in the Earth’s magnetic field. The work includes the development and application of large-scale simulations to study magnetospheric dynamics with extensive high-performance computing. My current specific interest is multiscale coupling within the global geospace while acknowledging the role of the atmosphere.
