Olav graduated with a double bachelor’s degree in chemistry and physics from the University in Tromsø, Norway in June 2021. As part of his chemistry degree he contributed to a project regarding ab initio quantum chemistry simulations using adaptable multitesolution basis sets. He embarked on his DPhil at St Peter's college in October 2021, and has been a part of the group since. Using a combination of empirical methods, most notably charge detection mass spectrometry, and mathematical modelling, his work now focuses on the connection between the quaternary structure heterogeneity of small heat shock proteins and their chaperone function.
