I am a biology master student with a big interest for marine mammals and physiology. Throughout my time at Aarhus University and University of Tasmania, I have sought to gain knowledge about marine organisms and ecosystems and to get practical experience in designing and conducting biological studies.

Working as a volunteer for Marine Environmental Research Association, Portugal, two consecutive summers provided me with my first hands-on insight on how cetaceans are studied in the wild.

As part of my undergraduate studies, I conducted captive studies of the dive response of harbor porpoises at Fjord&Bælt, Denmark.

In 2016, I will start my master thesis on foraging behavior of sperm whales. This work is conducted in collaboration with Marine Bioacoustics Lab at Aarhus University and The Dominican Sperm Whale Project.

Student assignments should always be carried out using a course page set up by the instructor. It is usually best to develop assignments in your sandbox. After evaluation, the additions may go on to become a Wikipedia article or be published in an existing article.
