Biography

Tommy Norin is a senior researcher at DTU Aqua, focusing on experimental biology and ecophysiology related to aquatic animals, particularly fish and marine invertebrates. His research investigates the causes and consequences of variation in whole-animal metabolic rates, organismal growth, body size, behavior, and phenotypic plasticity. He explores these areas within lab and field contexts, particularly in relation to climate change and environmental changes such as temperature, oxygen availability, and salinity. A significant aspect of his work aims to understand variations in metabolic rates across individuals, how these scales with body mass, and how they affect growth ontogeny. Tommy collaborates with researchers worldwide, including work on coral reef fish in French Polynesia and zooplankton in Arctic Greenland. He is also open to supervising PhD students and postdoctoral researchers and provides support for applications for research fellowships.
