Brief vitae
I obtained my PhD at the University of Tromsø in Norway, January 2004. In 2004, I moved to Australia and worked for 2.5 years at the Australian National University, as a Postdoctoral fellow in the group of Prof. Rod Boswell. I came to the LPP in 2006 with a Marie Curie Intra-European fellowship from framework program 6, and was recruited by the CNRS and affiliated to LPP as a permanent researcher in 2008.
I am now on leave from my research position to create and run the startup ThrustMe.
