I am returning to Sweden after nearly two decades abroad. I completed my undergraduate education at UC Berkeley in California, my Masters and PhD at the University of Missouri in St. Louis, and then did two post-docs in Brazil – one at the University of São Paulo and another at São Paulo Federal University in Diadema. Since my undergraduate years, my focal study system has been avian malaria. I’ve been involved in research on these organisms’ community ecology, biogeography, and host specificity, among other things.
With my current position, I am switching gears to work with experimental evolution. I will work with Charlie Cornwallis, Karin Rengefors, Erik Svensson, and Tobias Uller, but for the first couple of years I will be focusing on the Chlamydomonas multicellularity project lead by Charlie and Karin. Markus Lindh, a new postdoc here, has already provided an excellent summary of the project aims on Biologibloggen if you’re interested in knowing more about it.
