CURRENT TEAM MEMBERS
Annika Lie (2023-) Annika is a research assistant at the University of Agder and former master's student in the lab. She is continuing her research on cod bioacoustics, characterising the full acoustic repertoire of Atlantic cod and understanding how different sounds relate to important activities like spawning and feeding.
Simon Henriksson (2023-) Simon is a PhD student at the University of Gothenburg's Tjärnö Marine Laboratory. He is uncovering the genomic basis of the maintenance of distinct cod ecotypes in a coastal hybrid zone as part of the CODTYPES project (Swedish Research Council Starting Grant). He is co-supervised by Carl André and Per Moksnes.
Dr. Thomas Marcussen (2023-) Thomas is an adviser at the University of Oslo and the Coordinator of Community Samples in the Biodiversity Genomics Europe project led by myself and Dr. Torsten Struck. With his expertise in biosystematics and genomics (and a particular soft spot for plants), he is leading the effort to sequence the genomes of 150 community-nominated species across Europe in an inclusive and equitable manner.
FORMER TEAM MEMBERS
Postdocs:
Dr. Jeppe Have Rasmussen (2021-2023) Jeppe was a postdoc in Artificial Intelligence for Marine Bioacoustics on the TORSKETROMMING project, co-supervised with Morten Goodwin (Centre for Artificial Intelligence Research) at the University of Agder. Jeppe has a combined biology/physics background and co-developed deep learning methods to decode the bioacoustics of Atlantic cod mating rituals.
