Biography

I study plant-insect interactions, and particularly how conifers defend themselves against bark beetles and fungi. The work is highly interdisciplinary and I collaborate with chemists, molecular biologists and ecologists at NIBIO and abroad. The methods we use span from field experiments to chemical ecology and molecular biology. I have worked at NIBIO since 1992. I studied at the University of Oslo, where I graduated as Master of Science in ecology / entomology in 1992 and Dr. Scient. (PhD) in forest entomology in 1996. Since 2004, I have been an adjunct professor at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU), where I teach forest entomology. Since 2018, I am also a member of the Plant Health Panel of the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food and Environment (VKM).
