Profile

I am a Full Professor at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), IEEE Fellow, Clarivate Highly Cited Researcher (2023 & 2024), and Founder & Chief Science Officer of PHLIT—a spin-out company commercializing grid services through intelligent power converters. At DTU, I founded and lead the Smart Converter Lab and coordinate DRIVE-IT, a long-term industry-anchored research initiative in collaboration with Danfoss Drives.

My research spans power electronic converters and drives, digitalization, flexibility, and applied machine learning. I focus on developing advanced control and online learning methods that enable secure, reliable, and scalable deployment of converter-dominated systems across sectors such as EV charging, electrolyzers, water networks, and industrial drives. I have authored over 400 scientific publications (including 200+ journal papers), contributed to multiple book chapters and a monograph, and filed several patents. My work has been cited over 28,000 times (h-index: 88) according to Google Scholar.

I have secured competitive funding exceeding €20 million, including several national and international research projects, and serve as principal investigator on the DFF Sapere Aude Research Leader project MAGIC. My research group has pioneered several experimental breakthroughs, including the first self-learning diagnostics framework for power converters and the first edge-deployed neural network imitators for model predictive control.

My teaching portfolio includes B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. level courses in electrical engineering, industrial IoT, predictive control, and scientific writing. I have supervised 10 Ph.D. students as main advisor (15 graduates in total) and 6 postdocs, several of whom now hold academic or senior industry positions. I also routinely mentor MSc, BSc, and guest researchers and contribute to international summer schools and invited tutorials.

I have chaired the Danish IEEE Joint Chapter of the Power Electronics, Industry Applications, and Industrial Electronics Societies (2020-2025), and currently serve as Associate Editor for several leading IEEE journals. My recognitions include the IEEE IES Early Career Award, the Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship for Experienced Researchers, the Robert Mayer Energy Conservation Award, and the Končar Award for Best Industrial Ph.D. Thesis.
