Biography
I am a professor of mathematics at UiT The Arctic University of Norway. I am currently also acting as Pro Dean for PhD education at the Faculty of Science and Technology. Currently, I have the pleasure to serve as leader of the Norwegian Mathematical Council as well as member of the board of the Abel prize.
My research interests include real algebraic geometry, optimization, computational complexity, and computer algebra. I am leading the Algebra group and I am also one of directors of the Lie-Størmer Center for Fundamental Structures in Computational and Pure Mathematics.
