Presentation

I am interested in the application of next-generation sequencing technologies to improve genomic evaluations and understand complex traits in animal science through advanced data analysis.

Research

I am currently engaged in research on the genetic and epigenetic signatures underlying fertility in farmed Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus). My primary focus lies in the analysis of genomic data, with a particular interest in uncovering interactions between genotypes and a range of phenotypic traits. Beyond my core research, I actively contribute to collaborative projects and interdisciplinary initiatives. Below, you will find an overview of my academic background, ongoing research, publications, and other professional activities.
