Hi there!

I am a 26-year old norwegian physicist currently working at Ullevål universitetssykehus, Oslo. I am married to my lovely wife Sigrun, and has a fantastic son named Erlend Markus.

I made my first contribution august 13 2005. My primary interests are music, science (physics and mathematics), language, photography and technology.

My homepage is located here.


Music

edit

I enjoy different kinds of music, especially genres like jazz, melodious rock, some "old" pop, progressive rock and folk music.

Bands and artist i especially enjoy are

In addition, I try to play and compose music. I have a small set-up at home consisting of a masterkeyboard (Yamaha S80), a sampler (E-mu E4x), a mixer (Eurorack UB1002), a PC with Cubase and a microphone (Behringer B-1).

Science

edit

At the Department of Physics, University of Oslo, I hold a Bachelor's degree in physics and am currently studying for a Master's degree in biophysics/medical physics.

Other stuff

edit

In addition, I enjoy watching movies, working with photography, discussing language-related topics, solving Sudoku and in general everything related to natural science.


Picture of the day

edit
Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin (1900–1979) was a British-born American astronomer and astrophysicist who proposed in her 1925 doctoral thesis that stars were composed primarily of hydrogen and helium. Her groundbreaking conclusion was initially rejected because it contradicted the scientific wisdom of the time, which held that there were no significant elemental differences between the Sun and Earth. Independent observations eventually proved she was correct. Her work on the nature of variable stars was foundational to modern astrophysics.Photograph credit: Science Service; restored by Adam Cuerden
