Current status

I am now an associate professor at the Geophysical Institute and the bergen Offshore wind centre (BOW) at the University of Bergen (UiB).

Interests

Boundary layer meteorology:

- Characterization of the coherence of turbulence above the sea and in Norwegian fjords. - Influence of the topography on the mean and turbulent flow characteristics. - Synthetic turbulence generation in the atmospheric surface layer. - Influence of the blocking by the surface on the spectral characteristics of turbulence. 

Wind engineering:

- Turbulent wind load modelling on long-span bridges. - Data-driven modelling for structural dynamics. - Full-scale vibration analysis. 

Lidar remote sensing of wind:

- Can scanning Doppler wind lidars measure turbulence?. - Study of the flow around bridges with short-range and long-range wind lidar instruments.
