Tommy Norin is an experimental biologist and ecophysiologist working with aquatic animals, primarily fish but also marine invertebrates. His research focuses on the causes and consequences of variation in whole-animal metabolic rate for organismal growth, body size, behaviour, phenotypic plasticity, and overall performance. He investigates this in both the lab and the field in the context of climate and environmental changes in temperature, oxygen availablity (aquatic deoxygenation, or hypoxia), and salinity.
A central part of Tommy's research is aimed at understanding why there is variation among individuals in how steeply metabolic rate scales with body mass within individuals as they grow through ontogeny, and what the consequences of this variation are. Research in this area focus on how energy allocation to bodily maintenance, digestion and growth, activity, size and age at maturation, and reproduction change and interact as individuals develop.
Tommy works and collaborates with researchers around the world, from work on coral reef fish in French Polynesia to zooplankton in Arctic Greenland.
Please get in touch if you are interested in joing the lab group as a student or postdoc. For prospective postdocs, Tommy and the dedicated research support secretariat at DTU Aqua will happily assist with applications for fellowships (e.g. MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship).
