Fields of interests and present research activities:
My main field of interest is major accident risk, in particular understanding and modeling how and why major accidents occur. Among the specific areas which I am focusing on are:
- Risk Analysis Methods
- Accident models
- Modeling causes of major accidents
- Major Accident Risk Indicators
- Decision-making concerning major accident risk
- Human, organizational and operational factors influence on risk
- Safety Culture
Membership in academic and professional committees
- Chairman of the standardization committee “SN/K 239 Risk” (responsible for developing a new revision of the Norwegian standard “Requirements to Risk Assessment” (NS5814), published in 2008)
