Personal profile
Research profile
Born in Aalborg, Denmark, 1990. Earned BSc in Electronics in 2012, MSc in IT in 2014 from Aalborg University, Esbjerg, Denmark. PhD from the University of Southern Denmark, Sønderborg, Denmark, in 2020. Working within robotics and sensing technologies in terrestrial and underwater environments, using low-cost consumer and industrial components, open-source software, and simulation of such systems using digital twins. Previously worked within offshore process monitoring and control systems.
Administrative profile
I'm a creative and inventive engineer and problem solver with educations in electronics and control systems engineering (focus on mechatronics and robotics) and experience within both academic research and industry R&D.
I possess a high degree of creativity which I utilize in problem-solving, often swaying from "this is what we've always done", and looking for opportunities to improve both product and process, using knowledge and ideas from across fields.
I prefer to work in research and development or specialist roles where creativity, analysis, and inventiveness are valued. Additionally, I prefer to work in team/project and problem-based settings because I believe a problem-analysis-oriented approach combined with different perspectives leads to better outcomes.
In my spare time, I enjoy sailing (mostly in the coastal waters of Denmark) and home improvement projects, and spending time with my family.
