I have a PhD in food science from the University of Life Science (Ås, Norway). My research is dedicated to development and utilisation of rapid spectroscopic techniques in combination with multivariate statistics for analysis of food systems. My main technique has so far been near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, but I have also been involved in techniques like FT-IR, Raman, NMR, CT and microwave spectroscopy. Our use of these techniques ranges from molecular structural investigations in the lab, to quantitative chemical online analysis in industrial processes.
