  • Associate professor in statistics at The Norwegian University of Science and Technology
        (NTNU), Department of Mathematical Sciences.
  • Research interests: Modelling and inferens of large stochastic models in quantitative genetics and hydrology.
  • I work together with Henrik Jensen analysing house sparrows populations.
  • September 2009 - June 2010 I'll be on maternal leave and sabbatical, staying at SAMSI , joining the spatial program .
  • Topics for project- and master students.
