Field of work
Associate Professor Geoffrey Gilpin's teaching contributs to three study programs; the interdiciplinary BSc. Energy Transition (Sogndal campus), and the engineering programs BSc. Sustainable Production and Circular Economy and MSc. Sustainable Energy Technology (both Bergen campus), along with the supervision of BSc., MSc. and PhD. students. Gilpin holds a master degree (2006) in mechanical engineering from Germany. In 2016, he received his doctoral degree in environmental physics and renewable energy from the Department of Mathematical Sciences and Technology, at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU). Gilpin worked as a researcher at NMBU (2006-2008), at the Western Norway Research Institute (WNRI) (2008-2015), and in his current position at HVL.
Along with these academic roles, Geoffrey is also active in several development projects at the Faculty of Technology, Environmental and Social Sciences, e.g. Science Centre Coordinator for ViteMeir, and a facilitator for HVL Skape's CERN IdeaSquare Innovation Camp, along with being an active researcher, see below.
