Summary

After my BSc in Marine Biology and Chemistry at James Cook University, my interest in symbiosis brought me to the Max Planck Institute in Bremen where my MSc thesis focused on the ecology and evolution of chemosynthetic symbioses between bacteria and marine invertebrates. My PhD research at IFREMER in France aimed to apply eDNA metabarcoding to study deep-sea benthic biodiversity and the (a)biotic factors influencing diversity dynamics. I am now a senior researcher at the Norwegian Research Center NORCE, applying eDNA technology for marine monitoring and benthic diversity research.
