My research interests lie in the ecology and dynamics of marine ecosystems, particularly how individual encounters between predators and prey translate into larger ecological patterns. Experience from both empirical data analyses and theoretical modelling.

Arbeidsområde

I am currently working on a 3-years PhD project (2016-2019) studying the distribution of mesozooplankton (Calanus ​spp.) in the Barents Sea, in relation to food availability for planktivore fish. Visual prey detection is the common foraging mode in planktivore fish, and ambient light can have a large effect on foraging efficiency for the fish. I work with data on vertical zooplankton distributions (MOCNESS sampling gear), and combine empirical data analyses with theoretical modelling to examine whether the depth distribution of zooplankton is limiting the prey availability for the fish. 

The PhD project is part of the larger TIBIA project at the IMR, and I am also affiliated with the Theoretical Ecology Group at the University of Bergen ( http://bio.uib.no/te/index.php ).
