I was awarded my PhD on the "Genetic and environmental etiology of glucose metabolism and cardiometabolic traits during pregnancy and in later life" in 2019 from the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Oslo. After finishing my PhD, I was awarded a Mobility/Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship from the Research Council of Norway and as part of that fellowship I spent two years as a visiting academic at the University of Queensland. I am currently an ARC DECRA fellow at Institue for Molecular Bioscience at University of Queensland. My research focus is on using genetics to investigate the possible causal effects of maternal environmental exposures during pregnancy on offspring outcomes.
