About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Is to find a position to advance technology that makes a real difference for the planet.

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy going guy, do lots of sports and like being with people. I am interested in a lot of things, I want to learn, question and discover. I like to experience everything, also sometimes inconvenient things. It gives me a perspective to appreciate the good things in life. I love nature in every of its facets which is why I am a scientist because I believe that we have to use our time of life to learn as much as we can and try to give it forth to others. CS is a very good opportunity to get out of my comfort zone and into new worlds.

PHILOSOPHY

If we can create a world with less suffering through our actions and have a good life, why wouldn't we?
And most important, just don't be a dick....

Music, Movies, and Books

various good minimal electro DJs but I also enjoy Rock, Hiphop, Heavy Metal, Jazz and others. Just Top100 like Pop-music is death to me.

No doubt: Frankenstein (read it!). However I read more articles and studies than too many books but for fiction book I'd call "Höhlenwelt Saga" (german book) and LOTR. However I also read books about science, history, economics, ecology etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I see amazing things all the time in the lab (at least i think they are amazing) and also in nature, wether in macro or microsopic areas.
I dont know what to highlight being amazing, cause for me most things are amazing.

I saw Greenland from the plane, I know it's nothing amazing if you fly frequently but if you really realize what this thing down there is and how many implications it has on the world it is pretty damn amazing to me.

Diving is probably one of the most amazing things to do.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know chemistry and I also know of various other fields of science, some more detailed and some less. I can tell you about a lot of things you may have never thought about...like what has Linde air liquefaction to do with your food? Whats the air pressure of Mars?

I learned the somewhat strange danish language and of course I can teach german and english

I cook very well and divers (plants only)

I am a good swimmer, biker, generally good at sports.

I can teach you how to open a beer with almost everything.
