I am Head of Section and manager of the center for Research Support Services at The Royal Library / Copenhagen University Library and Information Service, where I am also the subject specialist for physics and astronomy. I am also an honorary associate professor in Computational Astrophysics at the Niels Bohr Institute (University of Copenhagen).
My research subjects are within astrophysics, magneto-hydrodynamical theory and numerical computer simulations. Over all topics are cosmic magnetic fields and stellar dynamo action.
I received both my Master's in astronomy (1995) and my Ph.D. in physics (1998), both from The Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen. Among other things I have e.g. been a fellow at the Solar Physics Institute of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences (1999-2001).
I also do popular science outreach and I am a huge fan of Star Trek and scifi (former Editor of the Danish Star Trek fanzine Subspace), and have given several talks on the physics of Star Trek, on science versus science fiction, and have appeared on national TV programs on science.
