I am a computational systems biologist who uses mathematical modeling to understand the metabolic networks of cells. Currently, I am studying the metabolism of Atlantic salmon and its gut microbiota as part of the DigiSal and SALMINT projects. I am also analyzing omics data in the Foods of Norway Centre for Research-based Innovation. Previously, I have developed scalable computational methods for model-based integration of omics data and metabolic pathway analysis.

Projects & research
Projects
Systems biology will aid sustainability in salmon farming. Scarcity of fish oil has forced development of novel feedstuffs, challenging the salmon's metabolism as well as our understanding of it.
