She moved to Iceland in January 2017 as PhD Candidate studying the marine microbial communities in the waters around Iceland, jointly supervised by The University of Iceland and Matís, ohf. In early 2022, she moved to the UK to work as a bioinformatician. Since 2023, Clara brings her technical and international experience to the Iceland Ocean Cluster and work alongside Dr. Alexandra Leeper, supporting the IOC team as our project portfolio grows and the 100% fish movement brings great Icelandic innovation in seafood to the global stage.
