Short presentation

My research focuses on development- and application of data driven mathematical and statistical methods for the modeling of complex biological systems with special emphasis on chemometrics, metabolomics and microbiome within the area of health and nutrition. This research is naturally interdisciplinary, and I find the translational aspects of bridging research communities to be inspiring and personally as well as scientifically fruitful.
