Academic Interests

I am a trained molecular biologist with a broad spectrum of interests and experience in various research fields. I received my M.Sc. in developmental biology, my Ph.D in genetics and cell biology, and I pursued postdoctoral research in evolutionary biology and ecology including conservation, phylogenetic, population genetic, and genomic projects.

At the University of Oslo, I was working as postdoctoral researcher with Sissel Jentoft and Kjetill Jakobsen on the international Interreg project CodS, aiming at the management and restoration of local cod populations along the eastern Skagerrak and Kattegat area and adjacent fjords. Currently I am involved in various population genomic projects, such as the Aqua Genome project, dissecting connectivity and gene flow, adaptation, and demographic histories in mainly marine fish species, as a guest researcher in Oslo.
