CURRENT TEAM MEMBERS
Dr. Jeppe Have Rasmussen (2021-) Jeppe is 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 has worked on neural control and biomechanics of sound production in songbirds, bioacoustic proxies for stress in farm animals, and automatic detection of blue- and fin- whale calls. Now he is working on the bioacoustics of Atlantic cod mating rituals.
Annika Lie (2021-) Annika is a masters student in coastal ecology at the University of Agder. She uses experimental bioacoustics to better understand factors affecting survival and reproduction of Atlantic cod ecotypes. She is co-supervised by Halvor Knutsen and Jeppe Have Rasmussen.
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.
