Biography

Ann Larsson is a Professor at the University of Gothenburg, specializing in biohydrodynamics and its impact on marine organisms and ecological interactions. Currently, her research focuses on understanding olfactory cues in Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus) and how water flow affects prey tracking success. She has contributed significantly to the study of cold-water corals, particularly in sediment exposure and recruitment restoration of Lophelia pertusa populations. Her early research included examining barnacle (Balanus improvisus) settlement and antifouling applications. Ann's work has been pivotal in elucidating the effects of turbulence on coral larval swimming and the role of ecological factors in coral growth. She is deeply invested in advancing strategies for conservation and restoration of cold-water coral reefs, addressing critical knowledge gaps in the field through various collaborative projects and publications.
