Veronica Berglyd Olsen

Hi, and welcome to my blog. I used to be an active blogger, writing for multiple blog networks and occasionally for other publications. These days I mostly work on my novel projects when I feel the urge to write. I hope to write the occasional blog post here as well.

I’m a physicist by education, with a Ph.D. in Plasma Wakefield Accelerators from the University of Oslo and CERN where I worked on the AWAKE project. I currently work with High Performance Computing (HPC) for a meteorological institute. My professional focus for the last decade has been on computational physics.

Writing

One of my hobbies is writing, and I currently focus on my novel projects. I have a bunch of science fiction novels all outlined, and work on them whenever I have the time and urge to write,

Because I was never satisfied with any of the writing tools available on Linux, I started writing my own back in 2018. The application is named novelWriter, and is free and open source. It has its own website over at novelwriter.io.

About Berglyd

My middle name is Berglyd. The name is a modernisation of the Norse name of my family’s farm Berurjóðri. The farm dates back to the viking era in Western Norway, and is described in the 13th century hero’s saga of Orvar-Odd (Örvar-Oddr).

The saga is available on heimskringla.no in Norse and Norwegian.
