Department of Production Animal Clinical Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine | Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU)
As a Professor of Animal Behaviour and Welfare at NMBU, my work sits at the critical intersection of animal welfare science, applied ethology, and clinical veterinary medicine. I have dedicated my career to studying the behavioural, cognitive, and physiological correlates of well-being in production animals to contribute to the development of ethical, sustainable, and scientifically sound agricultural systems. Please note that these are my personal web pages and are not operated by NMBU.
My research activities are concentrated in four primary areas: 1) developing a basic understanding of behavioural and physiological phenomena, 2) ethological research applied to improving animal welfare, 3) the integration of AI-based technologies in research, and 4) implementation through scientific leadership and policy.
