Profile
Mari Gjeitnes works as a researcher in the Urban Environments and Infrastructures section, focusing on the management, treatment, and reuse of water in urban areas. She has an academic background in biotechnology (MSc) with a specialization in micro- and molecular biology from the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU).
Mari is involved in projects addressing issues such as antibiotic resistance from wastewater and environmental water, microplastic pollution, and purification technology with an emphasis on resource reuse from the treatment process. Antibiotic resistance is a particularly intriguing topic for her and was also the focus of her master’s thesis.
Mari has gained experience from her studies and work at NIVA as a project assistant in laboratory work, including ecotoxicological analysis of water, chemical processes for water resource reuse, analysis of complex environmental samples, and microbiological and molecular techniques. Additionally, Mari works on data collection, statistical analysis, and visualization of larger datasets, including in the ETC-BE AMR project with the EEA, which aims to establish monitoring of antimicrobial resistance in the environment across selected European countries.
