Around 1910 he became a cand.real. at the University of Oslo and wrote the dissertation Soret's phenomenon. A study of a physical problem that secured him a doctorate in 1913. It was about thermodiffusion and based on discoveries that the Swiss sororet (1854-1904) had made around 1879.
He studied 1913-14 theoretical physics in Paris under Jean Baptiste Perrin and Paul Langevin , in 1915-16 in Leipzig and Göttingen University . He searched for various studies on the professorship after Kristian Birkeland (1867-1917), who went to Lars Vegard (1880-1963) from Vegårdshei.
