University with thesis advisor Ottar Bjornstad. Her research interests lie at
the intersection of immunology, pathogen evolution, population dynamics and
disease. Current work focuses on COVID-19, influenza and herpesviruses, with a
keen interest toward how the robustness and complexity of the immune system
shapes and constrains pathogen evolution.
