I enjoy hiking, skiing, fantasy, sci-fi, tennis, pants, cognac, parmesan and soccer. A couple (now more than a couple) years ago I starred in Fana school theatre. I'm also the coordinator of the Norwegian high school Informatics Olympiad, NIO. Most (all?) of the reasearch I do is in algorithmic graph theory. I recently defended my Phd. which is in parameterized algorithms and complexity.
