Education and career

Glad was born in Oslo. After rebelling against her family by preferring mathematics to language, Glad studied physics and statistics at the Norwegian Institute of Technology. She is married to statistician Arnoldo Frigessi, and followed Frigessi to Italy for postdoctoral research before returning to Norway for her position at the University of Oslo.[1]

As a teenager she worked a stint on a cargo ship,[1] and her later research has also included using statistics to prevent shipping disasters.[3]

In 2022 Glad and Frigessi obtained the founding for the center of excellence (SFF) Integreat.[4]
