• Arctic deep-sea hydrothermal vents microbial ecology
• Iron-oxidizing bacteria
• Anaerobic methane-oxidizing archaea and syntrophic partners
• Genome-resolved metagenomics and microscopy techniques

Interested in sustainable practices, environmental impacts, policy, community engagement, coordination and microbiology literacy of the public.

A member of the Deep-sea biology research group

I'm also a part of the organizing committee for Bergen Bathysphere, a community of deep-sea scientists and professionals working to increase collaboration and knowledge-sharing across institutes.

Watch our recording of the live-streamed remotely-operated dive at Loki’s castle hydrothermal vent field in the Arctic, 2300 meters below sea level – with live commentary from scientists! (Centre for Deep Sea Research)

Watch how we sample and study microbes living on black smoker chimneys at Fåvne hydrothermal vent field (my doctoral thesis work) - in English and Norwegian.

One example of outreach activites for the general public was OPPLEV Marineholmen in April 2022, where we prepared a stand with an interactive simulation of deep sea ROV-sampling (see blogpost here).
