Personal information:

Background / education

  • Doctoral degree (Dr.scient.): Dept. of Fisheries and Marine Biology, University of Bergen, Norway (1996).
  • Master's degree (Cand.scient.): Inst. of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Bergen, Norway (1992).
  • Pedagogies degree (Ped.sem.): University of Bergen, Norway (1989).
  • Bachelor's degree (Cand.mag.): University of Bergen, Norway (1989). Biology, chemistry, geology and biochemistry.

Main professional interest and expertise
  • Environmental toxicology & ecotoxicology, marine and freshwater biology, biochemistry & molecular biology and environmental risk assessment; in particular related to polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), alkylphenols, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), toxic metals, marine oil spills and offshore oil industry discharges (e.g. produced water).
  • “Biomarkers” in ecotoxicology (biomolecular, cellular,physiological or behavioural responses/effects that are caused by the exposure and toxicity of environmental contaminants).
  • New ("emerging") environmental pollutants, in particular synthetic nanomaterials.
  • Scientific publishing and bibliometric analysis of research performance.
  • Teaching and education development at the university level (part time position at University of Stavanger, Norway).
