Agnès Brosset
Postdoctoral Researcher
Department of Environmental and Biological Sciences, Faculty of Science, Forestry and Technology
My research explores how plants respond to volatile signals emitted by their specialist insects, and how climate change affects these chemical interactions. By combining approaches from plant chemistry, physiology, and insect behaviour, I aim to understand the mechanisms driving these responses and their ecological consequences.
Beyond academia, I am an herbalist and farmer. I founded the first medicinal herb farm in Sweden, Nordiska Örter. An entrepreneurial project through which I promote sustainable cultivation, and reconnection with nature.
