I am a marine ecologist, who is curious to better understand the environmental and biological drivers shaping the distribution, abundance, and movement patterns of marine predators. I investigate the habitat use, migration patterns, and eco-physiological drivers behind these spatio-temporal patterns in apex and mesopredators such as elasmobranchs. Currently, my research centers on some of the largest and most vulnerable shark species in Norwegian waters, namely the basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus), porbeagle (Lamna nasus) and spurdog (Squalus acanthias).

As a Ph.D. Candidate in Marine Ecology, I support the Deep-water and cartilaginous fish working group at the Institute of Marine Science (IMR) in Tromsø, Norway and am affiliated with the University of Oslo and the Movement Ecology group at the Research Centre in Biodiversity and Genetic Resources (CIBIO) in Porto, Portugal. My dissertation is part of the collaborative RCN project ‘Sharks on the Move’, which aims to model species distribution of these three migratory sharks to inform ecosystem-based management under global change.
