Main content
Mathias Myrtveit Sæther is a Researcher at the Department of Physics and Technology at the University of Bergen. He has experience from both industry and academia and has a broad theoretical and experimental background in the field of acoustics.
In his early career, he worked on a prototype echosounder aiming at more accurate estimates of biomass in the ocean. He was also involved in gas- and oil leakage detection systems.
During his PhD degree (2018), Sæther studied the acoustic properties of hydrate-bearing porous rocks. The understanding of such properties is vital for largescale CO2 storage in subsea reservoirs, or for potential methane gas harvest from methane hydrates. As part of the PhD project, he developed an experimental setup for acoustic measurements through hydrate bearing sandstones under high pressure.
As a postdoctoral fellow and researcher at the University of Bergen he has developed mathematical-numerical methods for acoustic wave propagation in isotropic solid plates. He is currently working on a highly accurate measurement setup for sound velocity in gas.
Sæther is a committed researcher leveraging his expertise in both theoretical and experimental acoustics to innovate and develop methodologies for the wide array of applications within the acoustics field.
