I am currently working as a Postdoctoral fellow at Senter for Klimaregulert Planteforskning (SKP/IPV). I have obtained my PhD in Plant Biology from UiT - The Arctic University of Norway in Tromsø, by studying the effect of light quality on bioactive compounds in Nordic wild berries. Currently at NMBU, I am involved in HortiFood project and interested in investigating potential application of optical-radiation based approaches for the managment of fungal diseases in fruit crops.
