Biography

My research activity is focused on elucidating the detailed nature of chemical reactions. During my undergraduate studies (1999-2004, Aarhus University in Denmark and Karolinska Inst. in Sweden), I worked several years in the laboratory, investigating enzymes and proteins. During my Ph.D. studies (2004-08, Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden), I shifted towards computational chemistry, focusing on modelling of enzymatic catalysis. In my post doc studies (2008-11, University of Tromsø, Norway) and my subsequent researcher position, I have increasingly focused on chirality and enantioselective catalysis. Since 2014, I am leading my own research group, which is applying both experimental organic chemistry and theoretical quantum chemistry tools in the investigation and development of organometallic catalysts. Current research projects involve experimental and theoretical studies of transition metal-catalyzed processes, including hydrogenation reactions (Ir, Co, Fe) and organometallic conversion of CO2 to higher value products. I lead several externally funded projects, among others a H2020-funded ITN (www.co2perate.eu), a NordForsk-funded Nordic Consortium for CO2 Conversion (site.uit.no/nordco2) and a TFS-funded recruitment grant (site.uit.no/choco). In May 2018, I was appointed Associate Professor and in September 2020 Full Professor at UiT The Arctic University of Norway.
