Lena Granhag is an Associate Professor at Chalmers University in the Department of Transport, Energy and Environment within the Mechanics and Maritime Sciences discipline. Her research background encompasses marine ecology with a particular focus on biofouling of ship hulls. Lena is the principal investigator for several research projects including the Invasive Species Action Plan (ISAP) and CLIMATE INVASIVES, a project under the Biodiversa initiative. Her current research interests revolve around the impact of marine alien species introduced through ballast water and their effects on maritime ecosystems. She is an active member of the expert group on Ballast Water Ship Vectors for the International Marine Research Council (ICES), contributing her expertise in this critical area of marine science. Lena has previously held a Marie Curie Fellowship at the Plymouth Marine Laboratory in the UK, where she researched the impact of bacterial films on the development of biofouling, employing advanced techniques such as Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) to detect and localize bacteria. In addition, during her postdoctoral fellowship at Kristineberg Marine Research Station, she investigated the American comb-jellyfish (Mnemiopsis leidyi).
General requirements apply to all departments listed at Chalmers. Specific departments like Architecture require a portfolio. Programs in Management/Economics do not strictly require GMAT/GRE but high academic standing is prioritized.
