Hei BIO,

Da er min første uke på jobb i ny stilling nesten unnagjort. Selv om jeg allerede lenge før sommeren kjente til startdato 1.september, var det en helt spesiell følelse å komme på jobb mandag morgen denne uken.

Hello everyone!

My name is Freya, and I’m just starting a PhD in terrestrial ecology with Dr Adéle Mennerat as my supervisor. I’m Scottish, but I moved to Bergen in 2019 after completing a Masters of Research in ecology from Glasgow University. Since then I’ve had a million different jobs: photographer, fieldworker, bartender, DJ, art technician, waitress, research assistant… I’m looking forward to just focusing on the PhD now!

The lecture (held in English)

Nuclear energy is, together with solar radiation, the only presently known energy resource which can supply humanity for an in practice indefinite time span. This Horizons lecture will describe the fundamental principles behind nuclear fusion, current research activities, and technologies being developed to make fusion power a reality.
