Geir Nævdal
is currently a Research Professor at Norce, Division of Energy and Technology. Nævdal is educated as a mathematician, and have been working with applied research for more than 25 years. I have mostly been working on problems involving porous media flow, flow in wells, and more recently renewable energy, seismic inversion, ultrasound and medicine.
Cristian Guillermo Gebhardt
is a Professor in offshore wind energy at the Geophysical Institute at the University of Bergen (UiB) and the Director of Bergen Offshore Wind Center (BOW).
Cristian has more than 20 years’ experience from the wind industry and in 2012 he completed his doctoral studies related to the aeroelasticity of onshore wind turbines.
Until 2021 he worked at Fraunhofer IWES and Leibniz Universität Hannover, after which he started his position at the University of Bergen.
Since his arrival at UiB, Cristian has secured a prestigious ERC-grant for the development of groundbreaking offshore wind technology and he is now also leading the OW2040 FME-initiative – a collaboration with UiA, UiS, Norce and the Institute of Marine Research (IMR).
