Present positions: Postdoctoral fellow at CIGENE/IMT, UMB.

Degrees: PhD in systems biology at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (UMB), 2007. Cand.scient. in applied mathematics at the Agricultural University of Norway (NLH), 2003.
   
Professional background: Postdoctoral fellow, Cigene/IMT, UMB (2007-); PhD student, Cigene/IHA, UMB (2004-2007); Research assistant, Cigene/IHA, UMB (2003-2004).

Research experience: Development and application of virtual genome platform, connection between nonlinear system dynamics and genetics, and generic robustness features of complex systems.

Current research activity: I work in the eVITA project "Bridging the gap: disclosure, understanding and exploitation of the genotype-phenotype map" on the heart model and yeast work packages. I'm involved in a range of activities aimed at bridging quantitative genetics with regulatory biology through mathematical analysis, simulations and experiments. My work is focused on building and analyzing causally-cohesive genotype phenotype (cGP) models of biological systems.
