Leif Kristoffer Sandal is a Professor of Applied Mathematics and Management Science.  Sandal received his Dr. Scient. degree in applied mathematics and theoretical plasma physics from the University of Bergen in 1984.

He founded the international master and doctorial programs at NHH in Energy, Natural Resources and the Environment (ENE) and was, until 2021, the head of the ENE centre.

Sandal has published widely in the field of fishery economics and was pioneering the introduction of stochastic modeling in bioeconomics. His international network is extensive and he has many joint publications with researchers in Europe, China, Australia and North America. He has been a member, as well as principal investigator, in numerous international projects. His research interests include real world applications of dynamic modeling and stochastic optimization in Managing Natural Resources, Pollution Problems and Corrective Taxes and Sustainable Feedback Polices in Bioeconomics.
