About

I am an associate professor in nutrition and clinical nutritionist with particular interest in nutrition in vulnerable groups, mainly children and youth, both nationally and globally. I teach and supervise students in nutrition, nursing and public health nursing within the topics clinical nutrition and public health. 

I have research experience from South-Africa (masters degree), Algeria, Nepal (doctoral degree) and Bhutan. My research interests are varied and span from  intestinal health and undernutrition in children (PhD), knowledge and nutritional practices among children, adolescents and their caregivers, and consumer oriented research related to sustainable food systems. 

I have been work package leader in the research project New Tools aiming to develop and test scoring systems for nutrition and sustainability to promote food system changes. I am a researcher/PhD supervisor in the EATWELL project investigating food systems, ecology and health in Bhutan. In the time to come I will also conduct research on how health technology may improve dining environments and food intake among hospitalized children.
