Gjøvik University College, Norway

Dr. Are Strandlie received his Master of Science degree in Theoretical Physics in 1995 and his Doctor of Science degree in Experimental Particle Physics in 2000, both from the University of Oslo. He was a Fellow at CERN between 2001 and 2003, where he was working on track reconstruction software development for the CMS Tracker. Strandlie holds a position as Associate Professor in Physics at Gjøvik University College since 2003 and an adjunct position at the University of Oslo since 2006. He is now involved in the ATLAS experiment at CERN.  Strandlie's research interests are concentrated around various aspects of the analysis of high-energy physics data, including the development and application of adaptive methods for track reconstruction and probabilistic approaches to particle mass determination.
