Hi, my name is Håvard. Nice to meet you.

I’m an associate professor of psychometrics and personality psychology at the Department of Psychology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology. I got my PhD on the topic of anxiety, depression and cardiocascular disease risk. My specialities are statistics, health psychology and personality psychology. Before ending up in academia again I worked for a time as a statistician at the city planning office of Trondheim municipality.

I love R and spend too much of my working time trying to convince my colleagues to adopt it. Maybe you should too?

This is Trondheim, the city I live in. It can be quite nice during winter.
