Academic interests

My main interests are in molecular fungal ecology and evolution. My PhD-project(s) were mainly focusing on the ecology of the mycorrhizal symbiosis, with a special emphasis on ectomycorrhiza in the Arctic.  

Teaching experience

BIO1000 - Elementary Biology

BIO1200 - Biodiversity

BIO2120 - Evolutionary Biology

BIO2150 - Biostatistics and Study Design

BIO4021 - Methods of Gradient Analysis

BIO4250 - Evolution and systematics of organismal groups: The Plant Kingdom

BIO9905MERG1 - Bioinformatics for Metagenomic Analyses and Environmental Sequencing

Background

I did both my Bachelor of science (2011), Master of Science (2013), and PhD (2020) degrees here at the University of Oslo. During my master I investigated host plant specificity of the ectomyccorhizal fungal community at an Arctic site.
