1. 2011-present: Senior Research Engineer at Siemens Flow Instruments in Denmark. I do flowmeter (i) research and development and (ii) systems architecting.
2. 2009-2011: Principal Scientist at the ABB Corporate Research Center in Switzerland. I divided my time between plasma physics research in (i) medium-voltage air-insulated switch disconnectors and (ii) medium- and high-voltage gas-insulated circuit breakers. Reference letter pdf
3. 2006-2008: Scientist at the ABB Corporate Research Center in Switzerland.
4. 2002-2005: Postdoctoral Associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA. I was employed by the Plasma Science and Fusion Center to work on the Alcator C-Mod tokamak. My research focused on measurements and analysis of density fluctuations (phase-contrast imaging, reflectometry) and lower hybrid current drive.
5. 2002: Assistant researcher at the Risø National Laboratory, Denmark
6. 1999-2002: Ph.D. in physics from the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, including a total of two years work at IPP-Garching, Germany. I studied under the auspices of the Risø National Laboratory, Denmark. My thesis supervisors were Mark Saffman, Henrik Smith and Poul Michelsen. The title of my Ph.D. thesis is: 'Turbulence in Wendelstein 7-AS plasmas measured by collective light scattering' html.
7. 1998: Assistant researcher at the Risø National Laboratory, Denmark
8. 1996-1998: M.Sc. in physics from the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, including a one-year stay at JET, England, where I made my Master's thesis under the supervision of Klaus-Dieter Zastrow and Henrik Smith. It is entitled: 'Modelling of Neutron Emissivities at JET Using Charge Exchange Spectroscopic Data'.
9. 1993-1996: B.Sc. in physics (mathematics 2nd topic) from the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark
10. 1990-1993: High School in Middelfart, Denmark
11. 1984-1990: Primary and Secondary School in Strib, Denmark
12. 1981-84: Attended the International School of Tanganyika in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
13. 1974: Born 9th of May in Middelfart, Denmark
