Employment
Sep 2022 –Current
Position: Postdoctoral research fellow
Department: Department of Musicology and Department of Physics
University: University of Oslo
Supervisor: Prof. Alexander Refsum Jensenius
Duties: As postdoc in the UiO:LifeScience ITOM-project, I built my own light-sheet microscope to characterize how early mammalian embryo models (gastruloids) grow and develop, and how the first organs form. To fully utilize light-sheet microscopy, I also characterize cell invasion in zebrafish and autophagy in Drosophila embryos in collaboration with other groups.
Jan 2022 – May 2022:
University Lecturer at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, Norway
Duties: Teaching Fluid Mechanics and mentoring two master’s students. To develop student engagement and intuition, I used active learning strategies such as 'Kitchen Flow' classroom experiments and Kahoot! quizzes.
Nov 2021-Dec 2021:
Visiting Researcher at the Department of Physics, University of Oslo, Norway
Duties: I was involved in a project aiming to characterize capillary-driven flows in soils, and I was a mentor at LagLivLab, a curiosity-driven science hub at the Dept. Physics at the University of Oslo.
Mar 2020 – Mar 2021
Position: Postdoctoral research fellow
Department: Department of Chemical Engineering
University: University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB)
Supervisor: Prof. Todd Squires
Duties: I learned to use a new microfluidic interferometry the group developed to measure spatio-temporally evolving concentration profiles, and I adapted it to characterize protein solutions. In addition, I studied asphaltene-stabilized water-in-oil emulsions.
Jun 2018 -Mar2020
Position: Postdoctoral research fellow
Department: Department of Chemical Engineering
University: Stanford University
Supervisor: Prof. Gerald G. Fuller
Duties: Characterization of tear-film stabilitiy and break-up on commercial contact lenses using thin-film interferometry, characterizations of hydrodynamic instabilities in polymer solutions, and characterizations of the miscible drop dynamics. In addition, I acquired 70+ hours of teaching and mentoring training through the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs.
Industry positions
Jan 2018 – Jun 2018:
Industrial senior researcher doing microfluidic separation at Trilobite A/S, Norway.
Feb 2013 – Sep 2013:
Industrial researcher doing microfluidic separation at Trilobite A/S, Norway.
Mar 2011 – Dec 2012:
Technical consultant doing fluid flow simulations at EDR Medeso, Norway.
Supervision and Teaching Certificate
In the spring of 2022, I was responsible for teaching for teaching Fluid Mechanics at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, and I was the main supervisor of two master's students. Through these activities, I fulfilled the teaching requirements for prestigious Teaching Certificate issued by the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs at Stanford University.
