Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDag Evensberget is a postdoctoral research fellow in Oslo with 12 years of experience applying mathematical and computational methods to space science. He specializes in large-scale magnetohydrodynamic simulations of stellar winds, energetic particle propagation, and star–planet interactions to probe how magnetic activity shapes planetary habitability. His background spans academia and the space industry, including satellite data processing, high-fidelity spacecraft simulators, and collaborative projects with ESA and JPL. Dag combines rigorous PhD-level astrophysics training with practical systems engineering—he has built parallelised simulation code and instrument data simulators for operational space projects. He has supervised MSc students and bridged research and applied engineering across institutions in Europe and Australia, often tackling computationally intensive, multidisciplinary problems. Colleagues value his ability to translate complex physical models into scalable numerical tools that inform both science and mission-relevant applications.
