    Research interests

    My research focus on the ancient history of complex life. Based especially in the Precambrian-Cambrian deposits of Finnmark, northern Norway, we are looking at life and Earth history through comprehensive studies of key localities.

    I also have a soft spot for unravelling the affinities of problematic fossil organisms, reconstructing their life histories and functional morphology.
