Dr Tor Erik Evjemo h as a master’s degree and a PhD in sociology from the
Norwegian University of Science and Technology, NTNU. He is a researcher at
SINTEF where research interests are work, organization and society with a special
interest in organizational, technological and social aspects of safety, mainly in the
sectors of oil and gas, health, as well as transport and aviation in particular. He
is particularly interested in how qualitative methods are used in the field of safety
science.
Kay Fjørtoft , MSc, is a Senior Researcher at SINTEF Ocean. He has a broad
research background and has been working with maritime research for more than
20 years, with topics such as software architecture and development, autonomy, integrated operations, maritime safety operations, Arctic, freight transport, port community systems and communication (telecom) including sensor technology. Kay has
participated in writing several books, papers and articles, which focuses on software
architecture and logistics, as well as maritime operational challenges.
Åsa Snilstveit Hoem is a PhD student at the Department of Design at the Norwegian
University of Science and Technology (NTNU). She completed her MSc in
Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety (RAMS) at the same university in 2014 and has worked as a researcher at SINTEF Community, Department of
Mobility and Economics, and at the Department of Safety Research from 2014. The
topic of the PhD project is risk analysis in the design phase of Maritime Autonomous
Surface Ships (MASS). Through her PhD work she has been involved in various
projects related to autonomous transportation and joined the Human and Autonomy
Lab (HAL) at Duke University.
Lars Hurlen has a degree in Mechanical Engineering from NTNU in Norway. After
working a few years as an interaction designer and internet consultant he started at
Institute for Energy Technology (IFE) where he now holds the position of senior
scientist. During his 13 years at IFE, Lars has been involved with a number of largescale industry projects, simulator-based research experiments and early stage conceptual studies, investigating various aspects of well-functioning human–machine
interaction with an emphasis on innovation in interface design, information visualization and control room design.
Dr Gunnar Jenssen is a Human Factors expert with a PhD in Transport Engineering
on Behavioral Adaptation and Safety Effects of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
and a MSc in Psychology. As Senior Research Scientist at SINTEF Transport
Research, since 1988 he has extended his PhD work to user acceptance of completely
autonomous vehicles and feasibility of autonomous winter maintenance at airports.
Dr Stig O. Johnsen is Senior Researcher at SINTEF in Norway. He has a PhD
from NTNU in Norway with a focus on resilience in complex socio-technical systems and has a Master of Technology Management from MIT/NTNU. He is chairing
the Human Factors in Control network (HFC) in Norway to strengthen the Human
