Raoul has a PhD degree from the University of Oslo’s section for Aquatic Biology and Toxicology. For his PhD, he studied the combined effects of increasing water browning and ultraviolet radiation on the freshwater flea Daphnia magna. He is interested in the different ways organisms respond to disturbances of their environment, whether it is naturally occurring or of human origin. In a stress ecology-based approach, he strives to evaluate and understand processes on different layers of biological complexion, ranging from molecular effects to population and ecosystem responses. Raoul is also passionate about data literacy and statistics, and has given numerous workshops on using statistical programming language R for reproducible data analysis. At NIVA, Raoul will be a Post Doc at the section for ecotoxicology, where he will work on the MixRisk project, complementing his experimental skills with advanced data organization structures and assessment of big data.
