I am an interdisciplinary researcher with a background in biotechnology, specialized in sustainability, ethics, and societal aspects of gene editing in animals. My expertise spans empirical ethics, qualitative methods, Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI), and circular economy in the seafood sector. I have experience from several successful national and international research proposals, and I greatly enjoy communicating research to both academic communities and the general public. On a daily basis, I conduct research in the CRISPRWELL project led from NTNU, contribute to various projects within the department, and work with sustainability at NORCE.
