Eirik Kristianslund

CV

Eirik Kristianslund has been a medical student at the University of Oslo (UiO) since 2005. In 2007 he was admitted to the Medical Student Research Program at the Faculty of Medicine. Eirik started his research in January 2007 with one year leave from his medical studies to work with the project "Risk factors for non-contact ACL injuries in elite female team handball players - A prospective cohort study".

 

His main research area is biomechanics, especially 3D motion analysis. In 2003 he represented Norway in the International Physics Olympiad. This, together with his studies in mathematics and physics at the University of Oslo, makes a solid background for research in this area.
