Participation in the European Union's Horizon 2020 Programme project RegoLight - Mechanical design and assembly of a technology demonstrator for 3D printing by sintering lunar regolith simulant - Mechanical support for integration of 3-axis table in DLR's solar simulator for regolith sintering in vacuum conditions Conceptual design of a mechanical system for oxygen extraction from ilmenite present in lunar regolith

* Work was done during vacations from studies. Total work time approximately 700 hours. * Implementation of robotic arm, type Universal Robot, working in conjunction with a CNC lathe * Implementation and maintinging database software Autodesk Vault Professional * Sorting and editing existing technical drawings using Autodesk Inventor

I was employed by the University of Agder to assist students of the subject MA-154 Mathematics four days a week, each session lasting two hours.

Work tasks included service, maintenance and repair work on vehicles below a weight of 3500 kg (light vehicles). Program was finalized by a written and oral examination which granted certification as a car mechanic on light vehicles.

* Design and procurement of a 60 N thrust stand. Tasks included: * Litterature research. * Design. * Component procurement.

* Elecromechanical characterization of high temperature superconducting wires and tapes at 77 K. Tasks included: * Litterature research. * Tensile testing to detemine tensile properties of various superconductors. * Strain degradation of critical current in high temperature superconductors. * Simultaneous measurement of lattice distortions, critical current and mechanical properties of superconductors at 77 K. * Data analysis.

Exchange semester autumn of 2013, as part of Bachelor's degree in Mechatronics Engineering.

The bachelors program cover a wide variety of topics concerning mechantronics relevant for the oil industry. - 5th semester, autumn of 2013, was completed at Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences, Austria, as part of an erasmus exchange program. - Final thesis project was conducted at CERN.
