Kristian Sem

My background in technology began in 2018 when started my bachelor’s degree in Drone Technology at the University of Tromsø – The Arctic University of Norway. This laid the foundation for continuing with a master’s degree in Subsea Technology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in 2021. While studying at NTNU, I spent two years volunteering with Vortex NTNU, a technical student organization focused on developing autonomous underwater and surface vehicles (AUVs and USVs) for student competitions. It gave me a lot of hands-on experience in robotics and learn what it’s like to work on bigger, long-term projects. In 2023, I joined Nortek, where I currently work in the Trondheim department. My role involves field testing and research and development (R&D), for both new and existing products.
