Hi, I am Sjakkalle, see the section at the bottom of this page for the explanation of the username. I am from Bergen but I have lived in Haugesund since 2011. I am 40. My educational background is as an applied mathematician. In August 2010. I earned a PhD for my work with the lattice Boltzmann methods (LBM) applied to problems concerning surface tension and wettability. Although LBM is my "real life" area of expertise, I have only made a few edits on that topic, and I have focussed my article writing on other topics I am interested in. I did initiate the Lattice gas automaton article, which was the predecessor to LBM. An additional course taken 2015-16 has qualified me to become a certified teacher.
I worked as a scientist until 2016, after that I have been a high school math teacher.
In June 2005 I was made an administrator, but I resigned them in November 2006 due to lack of time. I had admin access restored in April 2008, but I don't intend to be all that active with them. But if you need help with something which needs the admin tools, feel free to ask!
On deletion issues and policy, I consider myself a moderate, and a member of "AWWDMBJAWGCAWAIFDSPBATDMTD". I favor having guidelines on what kind of topics should be included, but oppose applying those guidelines inflexibly. I am a firm believer that the decisions should be made by the community, and view the role of the closing administrator as a steward more than as a judge. It happens that a local consensus (aka "vote count") is at direct odds with policy, and those AFDs must be closed accordingly, I feel those situations are rarer than what one may think. When it does happen the close needs to be explained very carefully.
