About

Current Research Areas / Teaching

I am working as a Professor in Environmental Toxicology at NTNU (Trondheim, Norway). I teach classes in the international Master Program "Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry" at NTNU. Further I am course leader for the course "Ecotoxicology" in the third Bachelor of the Biology Program.

My research is oriented towards the interaction of pollution with other stress factors and environmental factors and their effects on physiology, individuals and populations.

More information about my research can be found on my research group webpage, COAST IMPACT webpage and collaboration within DISRUPT: Ducks as models for assessIng endocrine DISRUPTing chemicals in the aquatic environment | Disrupt (utu.fi)

I have also been involved in a EU COST action European Raptor Biomonitoring Facility - ERBFacility
