About

As an environmental analytical chemist, my research is centered around understanding the fate, impacts and solutions to pollution in the marine and terrestric environment.

I am particularly driven by applying high-resolution analytical methods together with new data tools and experimental or field studies to understand environmental processes that modulate and annihilate impacts of complex chemical pollution through transformation, degradation and interaction.

Cross-disciplinary action is key in tackling the complex environmental problems we currently face, and I enjoy operating in the science-policy interface.

Current projects:

2025-2029: PolyMarine: Development of new generation polymers for marine coatings via an integrated safe and sustainable by design (SSbD) approach (IPN)

2026-2027: KomplemeNT: Norsk Nettverk for Anvendelse av Kjeminformatikk og Non-Target Analyse i Anvendt Forskning (Network)

2026-2027: SOURCE2POLICY: Integrated Assessment for Ocean-based Plastics in Nordic Seas: from Sources to Management

2026-2028: Safer Infusion Therapy through Immunotoxicology and Clinical Integration

2026-2030: VIRTUE: A Virtuous Cycle of Phytoremediation, Pyrolysis and Biochar Applications towards Safe PFAS Levels in Soil, Feed and Food (Collaboration project)

Background:

2017-2024: Senior Research Scientist, SINTEF Ocean, Norway

2014-2017: PhD Candidate, Institute of Marine Research and University of Bergen, Norway

2012-2014: Researcher, SINTEF Materials and Chemistry, Norway

I offer MSc projects in Environmental and Analytical Chemistry and can facilitate supervision of projects in collaboration with external institutions. Feel free to contact me to discuss possible topics.
