    Prof. Camilla Brekke was appointed Director of the Norwegian Polar Institute from September 2023.

    Brekke was Pro-Rector for research and development at UiT - The Arctic university of Norway since 2021, Tromsø, Norway. Before this, Brekke was Vice-Dean Research at the Faculty of Science and Technology from 2018 to 2021 and Deputy Centre Leader from 2019 to 2021 at Centre for Integrated Remote Sensing and Forecasting for Arctic Operations (CIRFA) at Department of

    Physics and Technology, UiT. She received the Cand. Mag., Cand. Scient., and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway, in 1998, 2001, and 2008, respectively. She was an exchange student to National University of Singapore in 1998 (spring). In 2001, she was a System Developer with Ericsson, Asker, Norway. From 2001 to 2002, she was a Young Graduate Trainee with the European Space Agency, Noordwijk, The Netherlands. From 2002 to 2009, she was a Scientist with the Norwegian Defense Research Establishment, Kjeller, Norway. In 2009, she joined the Department of Physics and Technology, UiT as an Associate Professor. Brekke is a full Professor since 2016. From 2012 to 2013 (4 months) and in 2018 (4 months), she was a visiting scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA, USA. Her research interests include synthetic aperture radar and ocean colour remote sensing for Arctic and marine applications.
