I work as a laboratory manager and research engineer at ACESx; Exposure and Effects.
I have main responsibility for our living cultures which include small crustaceans, green microalgae and chromists. I am involved in various student projects where I help set up experiments and provide guidance in lab work. I also make sure that the lab equipment work properly and get serviced.
I'm leading our annual field work; the environmental monitoring sampling of amphipods in the Baltic Sea. Within the environmental monitoring group I am also training in embryo analysis of Monoporeia affinis.
Another interest is molecular biology, I have worked a lot with extraction of DNA/RNA, amplification and preparation for sequencing.
Additional areas of interest are microscopy, eDNA, Bioinformatics and animals.

I have a Swedish master's degree in Biology and a MSc in Marine Biology.
I have done two interesting major research projects; one via Department of Zoology and the Swedish Museum of Natural History where I combined morphological and molecular methods to distinguish and taxonomically determine species of rays. In the second project, at Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences. I received a scholarship from SIDA to do a "Minor Fieldstudy", I collected plankton samples in different aquatic habitats on Zanzibar. These plankton samples were analyzed by me at SU and I used molecular methods to identify fish larvae. This was to map how different fish species use different habitats as nurseries.
