Employment Record
2012: Postdoc at Technical University of Denmark, Department of Physics
I am currently in charge of synthesis and characterization of thin films of tetracyano platinate. The work focusses on nanotechnological approaches to macromolecular systems exhibiting quantum effects and involves chemical synthesis, thin films, x-ray diffraction, computer simulations and microscopy.
2008 – 2011: Nanotechnology Researcher at Aquaporin A/S
I was part of the company's research and development group, where I took care of both atomic force microscopy and voltage-clamp measurements to characterize biomimetic membranes. I spent time on implementing various strategies to stabilize and to incorporate ion channels in these membrane systems. I was also responsible for safety in laboratory and had to deal with technical problems in the product R&D.
2007 – 2008: Research assistant at the Center for Molecular Movies (National Research Center RISØ)
In this position I was project leader for manufacturing, measuring and analyzing multilayer films of eicosan lead (II) salts and layers of evaporated metals. The work of the technical personal and students were coordinated by me, and we were included as a part of a larger group of researchers, which on a monthly basis held project meetings, that I was responsible for.
The project aimed at being able to make time-resolved X-ray measurements of well-ordered multilayer film and stems directly from the results that I achieved in my master thesis.
