About
I am a Principal Investigator and materials scientist at the University of Oslo, leading an independent research programme on functional oxides for sustainable energy technologies. Supported by two competitively awarded Research Council of Norway projects (22 million NOK total, ~2million €), my research combines advanced ceramic processing with state-of-the-art structural, electrical, and magnetic characterization to engineer ferroic domains and microstructural features for next-generation solid-state cooling technologies, capacitors, and actuators. I collaborate closely with leading international research groups, including Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (USA), ETH Zurich (Switzerland), and the Institute of Science Tokyo (Japan). My research has been recognized through several international awards, including the Edward C. Henry Award (American Ceramic Society) and the Electroceramics Young Researcher Award, and I currently serve as the elected spokesperson of the Functional Materials Section of the German Physical Society (DPG).
