Research and Teacher Assistant 

⭐️Jeg er lidenskapelig opptatt av å løse komplekse problemer i den virkelige verden på en enkel måte! 


🏃🏻‍♀️ Hele livet har jeg hatt interesse for å forstå hvordan fysikkens lover gjelder for verden rundt oss. Denne nysgjerrigheten førte til at jeg så på forskjellige vitenskaper gjennom fysikkens linse og brukte datakraft for å gjøre beregninger enklere.

📚 Med stor interesse la jeg ut på en eventyrlig reise for å videreutdanne meg, og jeg oppnådde min doktorgrad i beregningsbiofysikk. For dette benyttet jeg kraftige matematikk- og programmeringsverktøy for å løse komplekse beregninger enklere og raskere.
