Knutsen, Halvor
Professor II
Dr.Scient.

 

Background
Marine Biologist, specialized in population genetics/ evolutionary and ecological research. Recently I have in particular been linking genetic data with physical and biological data in different modeling approaches to study mechanisms behind connectivity in several high gene flow species
