Postdoctoral Researcher and Associate Professor

University of Agder

Jun 2019 – Jun 2021 Grimstad, Norway

I have been researching condition monitoring, machine learning, autonomous systems and signal processing applications in the Mechatronics field in combination with teaching to graduate Mechatronics students.

Responsibilities include:

  • Research
  • Teaching
  • Course development

Courses:

  • Industrial IT, MAS411: Programming Siemens PLC as a controller in hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation.
  • Instrumentation, MAS506: Lectures on Kalman Filter and Particle Filter
  • Product Development, MAS507: Students were given a prebuilt mobile robot with access points for mounting more hardware. The students were tasked to design and build a gripper mechanism for picking artificial strawberries. The heart of the robot is an Nvidia Jetson running Ubuntu on ARM, and the students were tasked to program this robot in Python to autonomously find and pick all the strawberries in a given field. More information is given on the course website

My PhD project involved rolling element bearing failure detection and prognosis during low and variable speed conditions. The thesis is built from several conference and journal papers, and you can read more about the thesis here.
 
 
 
 
 

B.Sc and M.Sc. Mechatronics

University of Agder

Aug 2010 – Dec 2015 Grimstad, Norway
Right after High-school, I started this education in Mechatronics. Because of the wide field, I have learned a lot during these five years, both practically and theoretically. I worked a lot with Sondre S. Tørdal, and we did both the Bachelor and Master thesis together. Both projects involve modelling, simulation and control oh hydraulic parts and systems. We also got the award for best Master thesis of the year in 2015. Link to Master Thesis. Link to Paper based on Bachelor Thesis
