Awards

  • "Best Danish master thesis in the field of operations research of 2002-2003" from Danish operations research society DORS. The thesis is available here. The thesis is on methods for optimization of VLSI (very large scale integrated) layout.

    Teaching

    I have given lectures on the following courses:

    Other Full Time Occupations

    I worked for 6 months in 1999 at Lasat Networks on software for a VPN-router called "Safepipe" . In 2003-2004 I worked about 8 months for Laerdal Sophus; A top Danish software development company which produces medical simulators (See Microsim).

    Graduate Projects

    With Marinus Rørbech: Facial tracking and regeneration using a web-camera.

    With Benny K. Nielsen and Allan Odgaard: Two-dimensional packing problems with irregular shapes. This lead to a number of research papers as part of my Ph.D. study.

    With Marinus Rørbech and Michael G. Haagensen: Fluid simulation and visulation using octrees (here).
