Eg underviser i hovedsak i fysiologi ved bachelorutdanninga, men er også involvert i undervisninga i fysiologi/anatomi ved dei andre bachelorutdanningane ved IHF. Eg har bakgrunn frå forsking innan nevrovitenskap og nevroimmunologi frå UiB, Haukeland Universitetssjukehus og University of Virginia.
Fag- og forskingsinteresser: Inklusivitet i helse og utdanning, nevrovitenskap, fysisk aktivitet og immunfunksjon, folkehelse, immunologi, genetikk, utdanning.
Om du ynskjer å skrive bacheloroppgåve, masteroppgåve eller søke midlar til PhD innan nokre av desse temaene eller prosjekta eg er involvert i, ta kontakt for ein prat.

We are seeking funding via KA3 erasmus+ program and have started the project on own funding. The goal is to create systems that are inclusive towards all learners within the health care profession education.
- Physical Activity and Resilience in Aging, PARA. This is a project in two parts. Part 1 is funded without exteranl funding and is focusing on physical activity and health promoting programs for older adults, mainly at Helathy life centres. Part 2 depends on external funding and in this part of the project we aim to udnerstand more about how physical state and physical activity related to specific immune mecahnisms. In 2020 we have 6 bachelor stduents working on part 1 of this project.
- Im inovlved in projects around education: 1) how to create learning landscapes to promote learning in complexity and 2) Evaluation on online learning/teaching strategies
