Academic Achievements
  • Co-Principle Investigator/Principle Investigator/Work Package Leader/Project Manager of multiple projects including AMAZING-6G (funded by the European Commission), Enhancing Prognostication and Mitigating Uncertainty (funded by Health South East Trust), CybAlliance (funded by the Research Council of Norway), Preoperative Data Models for Personalized Survival and Treatment Analysis (funded by Health South East Trust), Development of RF Sensors for Heart (funded by Health South East Trust), Wireless Brain-Connect Interface to Machines (B-CRATOS) (funded by the European Commission FET Open Program), Internet of Bio-NanoThings for Prediction and Prevention of Infectious Diseases (CLIPEUS) (funded by the Research Council of Norway).
Research Experience
  • From 1998 to 2002, worked as a Research Engineer developing video streaming solutions for mobile handheld devices at Fast Search & Transfer ASA, Oslo, Norway. Since 2002, has been with the Intervention Center, Oslo University Hospital - Rikshospitalet, Oslo, Norway as a Senior Research Scientist and Founder and Head of the Biomedical Sensor Network Research Group. Appointed as a Professor of Medical Signal Processing and Communications at NTNU in 2006. Promoted to Head of Section for Medical ICT R&D at the Intervention Center in 2017. Was a Professor by courtesy at the Frontier Institute, Nagoya Institute of Technology, Nagoya, Japan during the academic year 2016-2017.
Education
  • Received the Siv.Ing. (MSc) degree in signal processing from the Signal Processing Group, Department of Electronic Systems, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Trondheim, Norway in 1993. Master's thesis was completed at the University of California, Santa Barbara, USA under the supervision of Prof. Sanjit K. Mitra. Obtained the Dr.Ing. (PhD) degree in signal processing from NTNU in 1998, with Prof. Tor A. Ramstad as the PhD supervisor.
Background
  • Research interests include medical signal and image processing, wireless biomedical sensor networks for short-range sensing, imaging, localization, and communication, and multimedia patient record systems. Recently involved in nano-scale communication networks - molecular communications using biology and nanotechnology for intra-body applications like minimally invasive diagnosis, monitoring, and drug delivery.
