Anne Gerd Imenes

Professor

 
Office:
H4042 ( Jon Lilletuns vei 9, Grimstad )
Office hours:
Monday to Friday 8-16

Educational background and work experience:

Anne Gerd majored in Environmental Physics at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU), and holds a PhD degree in Applied Physics from the University of Sydney. The topic of her Master thesis was flat-plate solar collectors for domestic hot water and floor heating systems, in collaboration with the Energy Physics group at the University of Oslo. The topic of her PhD degree was concentrating solar energy systems and the design and optimization of optical filters for spectral beam splitting. After graduation, Anne Gerd worked as a Post Doc at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) in Newcastle, Australia. Here, she participated in the commissioning and testing of a solar tower system consisting of a field of focusing mirrors and a solar-powered gas reactor. She worked for a while as a Research Scientist at the CSIRO, before returning to Norway as a senior researcher in renewable energy at the technical-industrial research institute Teknova. Following this, she started working as associate professor at the University of Agder in a part-time position. She is now employed as a full-time professor at the Institute of Engineering Sciences, where she mainly works with teaching and research topics related to solar cell technology.
