Hi, I’m Markus!

I am a Research Scientist in AI at the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI), working at the sharp end of robotics, robot dynamics, and control theory. With over twenty years of experience split between heavy industry and cutting-edge academia, I build software that makes physical robots move, adapt, and think-from complex manipulators to autonomous maritime and aerial platforms.

For me, the real magic happens at the intersection of heavy math and real-world deployment. I love getting my hands dirty in the lab with ROS 2 and Linux, deriving dynamic equations, and mentoring the next generation of engineers. And when I'm not thinking about autonomous agents, I’m usually out pushing my own limits on the gravel biking trails.

Feel free to explore my code repositories, check out my robotics & industrial portfolio, or learn about my current research and publications. You can also contact me to talk robotics research, academic collaborations, or postgraduate supervision!
