I am a Ph.D student and researcher working in the Deep Sea Biology Research group.

I have a master degree from Centre of Excellence in Geobiology (UiB) where I characterized the novel bacterial species, Marinitoga arctica isolated from a hydrothermal vent chimney at the Soria Moria vent field.

My Ph.D project focuses on enzyme discoveries and pioneering research related to the hydrothermal vent microbiota. My work focuses on characterization of novel proteases sourced from the metagenomic data of hydrothermal vent microbes. I also focus on the biotechnological potential of these enzymes.

I have characterized a novel C11 protease from an Archaeoglobus species from a hydrothermal vent system that I named 'globupain' and the publication can be read here: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmicb.2023.1199085/full

I am also a part of the INDEPTH - Life at the limits project team: https://indepth.ug.edu.pl/team/.

I have also written a popular science article on the research we do in the Deep Sea Biology Research group in Norwegian here: https://forskersonen.no/baerekraft-havet-meninger/veien-til-en-gronnere-...

Achievements:
