I am Senior Scientist at Nofima, where I have been working since 2008 and have built up experience in project management from national and international projects. My research areas are consumer behaviour and sensory science, with a main focus on the consumer. Special interests include consumers’ product acceptance and food choice, and behavioral change towards a sustainable society (incl. food waste reduction and packaging choices). In earlier research I have worked on individuality in taste sensitivity, children’s learning mechanisms towards a healthy and varied diet, and consumer testing methodologies and consumer-driven innovation processes. I also have expertise in statistical methods, especially experimental design and multivariate data analysis (sensometrics). In addition to my position at Nofima, I have a part-time position as Associate Professor at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU), where I am responsible for

a master-level course in sensory and consumer science (MVI340). I hold an MSc in Food Science and Sensometrics from ENITIAA, Nantes, France (1998, now Oniris) and a PhD in consumer science from the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, Institute for Chemistry, Biotechnology and Food Science, Ås, Norway (2012). My past professional experience includes roles as Chemometrics consultant, Product manager, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer in the statistical software group CAMO AS (1998-2008).
