PhD programme
Digitalisation and Society
Background
I hold a master’s degree in Climate Change Management from the Western Norway University of Applied Sciences (HVL). My master’s thesis focused on the impact of peatland restoration on flood regimes under current and future climate conditions, using hydrological modelling, climate scenarios and spatial analysis.
I also have an academic background in architecture and professional experience from the construction and infrastructure sectors, including BIM and technical documentation. Through this experience, I developed a particular interest in the intersection between digital technologies, environmental assessment and decision-making in the built environment.
