I work as a technician at the Ecological and Environmental change research group (EECRG), specifically with projects connected to UiB's UNESCO Chair on Sustainable heritage and environmental management.

I'm an ecologist with a background in plant ecology, and have previously worked in experimental ecology in alpine cultural/semi-natural landscapes focusing on effects of climate change. Currently working on projects related to land use change and land use sustainability.

Responsible for the growthlab (room 4D12) and ecolab (room 3B02).
