I am a former PhD student at the Norwegian Institute of Technology. I was doing research in the fields of artificial neural networks and parallel processing. As a part of my research I have been a research student at Kyoto University, Japan for one year. Japan-reports are available here.

I received my Ph.D. in May 1996 and began working for NERA Telecommunications. I was involved in designing a digital power line carrier system. Then in April 1998, I was employed by Navia Aviation for designing a satellite-based flight landing system. From June 1999, I hold an professor position at Department of Informatics, University of Oslo (associate professor 1999-2005). My research is about evolvable hardware and reconfigurable computing.

I November 1997, I made a research and publication trip to Japan and New Zealand. From January to April 2000, I was a visiting researcher at Evolvable Systems Lab, Electrotechnical laboratory, Tsukuba, Japan.
