As a PhD Student with Media (Media Performance Group) at Simula Research Laboratory / University of Oslo, I am a part of the Robust multimedia streaming services (ROMUS) and the information Access Disruptions (iAD) project. In this project I am working with distributed processing and the support for heterogeneous processing architectures. Currently I am a part of the P2G project, where we work on mapping of processes to heterogeneous processing nodes distributed over a network.

My research interests are within distributed processing, and heterogeneous processing architectures. I am also interested in state of the art asymmetric multi-core processors like the STI Cell Broadband Engine, and graphics processing units like the nVIDIA Fermi-architecture.

I am also involved in teaching at the University of Oslo. During my PhD I have been involved in administrating the courses INF3190 - Computer Communications. I am currently teaching and administrating the course INF5063 - Programming asymmetric multi-core processors with Carsten Griwodz, Pål Halvorsen and Håvard Espeland. I have supervised several Master students working with the nVIDIA CUDA framework and GPGPU in general. Now I am involved with supervising master students working with optimization of video encoding for heterogeneous architectures and fat binary support for heterogeneous processing architectures.

I joined Simula as a PhD student in April 2007, after finishing my MSc from the Department of Informatics at the University of Oslo. My master thesis is about the evaluation and implementation if a fault tolerant routing algorithm in SCI interconnection networks.
