I work at the intersection of environmental science and policy. My doctoral research at NTNU gave me deep technical expertise in material flow analysis and life cycle assessment, translating complex data on plastic systems into insights to inform policy decisions. My work has been published in peer-reviewed journals, informed Norwegian policy discussions, and reached broader audiences through media and public talks.

I'm particularly interested in the systemic drivers behind the unsustainable societies we live in, and how quantitative assessments can help reveal the institutional changes required for real transformation. What drives me is the gap between what the science shows and what gets acted on. I've built the kind of quantitative evidence base that makes that gap harder to ignore.

I'm drawn to collaboration with organisations navigating the science-policy interface, including think tanks, international bodies, research institutes, and NGOs working on plastics, circular economy, or environmental governance. I bring analytical rigour, multilingual communication skills, and the ability to work across scientific, policy, and public audiences.
