Job description

I am a dentist and PhD Research Fellow affiliated with the Sustainability in Dentistry project. My doctoral project consists of three parts: Mapping the environmental impact of oral healthcare services, exploring how sustainability can be integrated into dental education, and conducting life-cycle assessments of equipment, materials and procedures at the University Dental Clinic in Tromsø.

The work is grounded in the recognition that high-quality healthcare must also safeguard the very foundation of good health: A healthy planet – for patients in the dental chair and for generations to come. Prevention, evidence-based infection control and more conscious, circular use of resources are therefore central to my work. My aim is to contribute knowledge that can make oral healthcare safer, more responsible and resilient in the face of future challenges.
