Academic interests

Environmental properties of products and the use life cycle assessment (LCA) to estimate the environmental impacts of products. Interested in cross disciplinary collaboration in other fields and practice.

Background

Tellnes has an MSc in Industrial Ecology from Norwegian University of Science and Engineering (NTNU) and ten years of working experience from applied research in the institute sector. First six years at the Norwegian Institute of Wood Technology and the four years at Norwegian Institute for Sustainability Research (NORSUS). He has much experience with direct industry cooperation and through several networks. Before starting at Østfold University College, he was teaching LCA for four years at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences. He has also been giving different professional courses, for instance through Tekna – The Norwegian Society of Graduate Technical and Scientific Professionals. Tellnes started as a Doctoral Research Fellow at Østfold University College in August 2021.
