RESEARCH VISION AND MISSION
I believe in improving quality of life for people with impaired sensory or motor capabilities through development of innovative, implantable technological solutions that are inspired by human biology. I work towards bridging animal and human research to create unique knowledge and novel rehabilitation systems.
RESEARCH STRATEGY AND EXAMPLE RESEARCH PROJECTS
- My research was initiated within animal work, and most of my work has been carried out in animal models – however since 2013, my work also taken a translational step towards clinical work. All my work is ultimately dedicated to the development of future clinical sensory and motor rehabilitation devices and therapies for use in human patients.
- Example research projects: Animal model of ischemic stroke, Animal models of neuropathic and phantom limb pain, Direct sensory feedback to alleviate phantom limb pain, Invasive brain computer interfacing.
RESEARCH EXPERTISE
- Specialist knowledge within the area of neural engineering, including new implantable technologies to assess, understand and modulate neuroplasticity for treatment of diseased or damaged neural system.
- Experience with development and test of medical device equipment in collaboration with national and international companies.
- Experience with development and test of medical equipment (invasive and non-invasive) at multi-national level (approvals obtained at the national ethical committee systems and national competent authorities for human tests, knowledge of performing animal and human tests to comply with the EU medical device directive).
- Broad knowledge of national and international policies, strategies, mega-trends ect. within health.

DIDACTIC PHILOSOPHY
I believe that deep learning and high-quality teaching is best promoted through strong feedback-based interaction with students and peer teachers. To achieve this, I work routinely with definition of explicit learning goals, alignment of mutual expectations and transparence.
TEACHING EXPERIENCE
- Experienced class-room teacher, supervisor and mentor at undergraduate, graduate and ph.d. level mainly within biomedical engineering (civilingeniør uddannelsen i sundhedsteknologi), but also in within the clinical science and technology (kandidat I klinisk videnskab og teknologi, KVT) and the medical (bachelor i medicin /bachelor i medicin med industriel specialisering) edcuations.
- Experienced teaching administrator, including curriculum planning and curriculum development.
