My work aims to determine whether the process of pant domestication may have affected plant volatile responses to (i) feeding from a specialist herbivore; (ii) elevated ozone; (iii) both stresses sequentially. It also examines whether volatile-mediated plant-plant interactions are more effective in wild than cultivated varieties and evaluates whether herbivore-induced volatiles affect defence, growth and reproduction of receiver plants.

I have been teaching in the Chemical Ecology course for master students in the autumn semesters 2019 and 2021.
Yhteiskunnalliset tehtävät
I have great interests in gardening, foraging for wild plants, and herbalism. I am part of a non-profit organisation implementing urban permaculture gardens that boosts biodiversity in the town of Uppsala and provides locals with fresh and nutritious fruits and vegetables (www.ultunapermakultur.com).
