Introduction
I am involved in the SFI DSolve project, specifically contributing to Research Area 5, which focuses on the circularity of bio-based, biodegradable, and non-degradable plastics. My current research involves the integration of "Ghost Fishing" and its impacts on ecosystems and biodiversity into Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA).

Description
  • In the Laboratory for Marine Nanotechnology and Biotechnology, I completed three two-month-long internships. My work involved investigating embryotoxicity and oxidative stress in sea urchins after co-exposure to PMMA microparticles and the drug indomethacin. Additionally, I conducted research on the synthesis of silver nanoparticles and their impact on sea urchin larvae.

Article
Full-text available
Abandoned, lost and discarded fishing gear (ALDFG), significantly impacts marine ecosystems and biodiversity by incidental capture known as ghost fishing. Such impacts were quantified during the Norwegian Directorate of Fisheries' annual ALDFG cleanup operation in September 2023 by examining the characteristics of retrieved ALDFG and recording the...
Poster
Microplastics pose a substantial threat to marine organisms, causing physical obstruction in the digestive system and acting as vectors for other pollutants. In recognition of the growing threat from microplastics, the multilateral project “Marine litter cross-border awareness and innovation actions” has been initiated. As part of the project, the...
Thesis
The use of microplastics is increasing every year in a broad range of areas such as cosmetics, medicine, abrasive pellets manufacturing, detergents, paints, etc. In parallel, the possibility that such microplastics find their way into various environmental compartments such as freshwater systems, soil, estuarine or marine waters also increases. Mic...
Thesis
As the use of synthesized nanoparticles grows every year in a broad range of fields like: medicine, cosmetics, hardware parts manufacturing, agriculture, dietary supplements, etc. So does the possibility that such nanoparticles finish into various environmental media such as freshwater systems, soil, estuarine or marine waters. Recently, silver...
