Profile

Astrophysicist, Associate Professor.

Head of studies for the MSc in Earth and Space Physics & Engineering

Current main research activities: X-ray astrophysics, in particular observational and theoretical investigations of thermonuclear X-ray bursts from accreting neutron stars in low-mass X-ray binaries.

Project supervisor and lecturer for diverse courses. Main responsible of the DTU courses "Astrofysik" (30120 BSc, until 2024), "Observational X-ray Astrophysics" (30790 MSc, until 2023), "Physical Processes in Astronomy" (30791, MSc) "Astrophysical Data Analyses" (30794 MSc).
