Jan Sverre Vea, MSc.
I completed my studies at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim and graduated with a MSc. in applied physics, and a great and memorable experience through my organizational work with the students’ sports club NTNUI. I started my professional career in 2006 as a maintenance engineer in Aker Kværner (later Aker Solutions), before advancing to project management within the same company. My main activities included M&M projects for Statoil. After that period, I moved to Odfjell Drilling, where I was also involved in M&M activities, until I joined CealTech in February 2016.
What I like about my job at CealTech?
The simple answer is: the people. It has been incredibly fun and motivating to be part of the team, and not the least, it has also been both rewarding and inspiring to be a part of a scientific revolution, with graphene, “the new supermaterial”, at the center of it. I also enjoy the opportunities that come with working in a small company, as I got to do different tasks and to be involved in a lot of the things that are going on.
What I like to do in my free time?
Mostly sailing during summertime. I am actually one of the owners of a racing sailboat that we use in regional regattas. In wintertime, I try to put in as much skiing as I can. My other winter activity is curling, which I have played for several years now!
