Background and activities
Jeg er førsteamanuensis i biosystematikk og karplantekonservator ved NTNU Vitenskapsmuseet.
Jeg bruker fylogenetisk metode til å studere en rekke biologiske aspekter på ulike taksonomiske nivå hos blomsterplanter og lav. Jeg benytter i stor grad herbarie materiale i min forskning. Jeg benytter moderne statistisk analyseverktøy for data analyse.
Jeg er del av Systematikk og Evolusjons Gruppa (SEG). Les mer om SEG!
Vurderer du en master/MSc innen biosystematikk / bevaringsgenetikk? Vi tilbyr prosjekter både på karplanter og lav
Du finner interessant, lærerik og morsom lesing på vår Evolusjon blogg
