Curriculum Vitae
Research interests
My current research aims to understand the ecological interactions between aquaculture and wild fish populations. A key focus is how salmon lice may affect Atlantic salmon, sea trout and arctic charr. I also have great interest in modeling, evolution, biodiversity, invasion biology and risk assessment.
I have a history of 15 years of research on the impact of modern biotechnologies, especially genetically modified organisms (GMOs) on experimental model systems and on real food-webs. With cooperating partners, I have worked with multiple model systems: from microorganisms to Daphnia magna to insects and mammals, both in the laboratory and in the field. A particular focus has been on the food quality and ecotoxicity of GM plants (e.g. Bt-maize and Roundup Ready soy) in a feeding model using the waterflea Daphnia magna, also in combination with chemical stressors (herbicides).
Performance indicators (May 2024):
Peer-review publications: 84
H-factor: 34
