Summary
Daniel Isaksen is a technology leader and robotics specialist with a decade of experience applying AI, robotics, and data-driven engineering across industry and academia. Currently Task Manager for New Initiatives at Equinor, he blends hands-on software and data engineering with strategic scouting of emerging tech such as web3 and generative AI to advance sustainable, high-impact projects. He holds an M.Sc. in Robotics and Intelligent Systems and has taught and built makerspace communities, linking deep technical knowledge in neuromorphic-inspired AI for neuroscience to practical development and operations on large energy projects. Driven by a mission to create equal opportunity while protecting the planet, he’s as comfortable coordinating offshore digitalization efforts as he is mentoring students or prototyping hardware in a workshop. An early leader with military recon experience and entrepreneurship training, he brings discipline, cross-disciplinary curiosity, and a proven ability to move ideas from lab to field.
