About me

I am a postdoctoral researcher of applied population genetics at the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources. My research interests include molecular ecology, evolutionary biology, population genomics and fisheries science. I am currently working in population genomics of Greenland halibut and collaborating on projects studying the biology of Greenland sharks and redfish in the North Atlantic.
