He works part-time at a Norwegian Center of Excellence: \"Center for Biomedical Computing\", at Simula Research Laboratory, to which he has been linked for the last 13 years. His main research interests includes cerebrospinal fluid dynamics, cardiac electro-mechanics and sport biomechanics. Over the last decade, Linge has been particularly engaged in reforming the engineering education in mathematics and physics to take advantage of computer programming and simulation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHans Petter Langtangen is a professor of computer science at the University of Oslo. He has formerly been a professor of mechanics and is now the director of a Norwegian Center of Excellence: \"Center for Biomedical Computing\", at Simula Research Laboratory. Langtangen has published over 100 scientific publications and written several books, including papers and the bestseller TCSE 6 \"A Primer on Scientific Programming with Python\", now in its 5th edition.
