On January 30 (2026), I was proud to officially receive my PhD diploma at the University of Bergen’s Doctorate Conferment Ceremony.

The ceremony was the official end of my doctoral journey and a public recognition of my dissertation. Standing in the Aula with other doctoral candidates felt humbling and meaningful. It was a chance to look back on years of research, teamwork, challenges, and growth.

I am very grateful to my supervisors, collaborators, friends, and family for their support throughout this journey. Earning a PhD is never something you do alone.
