Personal profile

Short presentation

Welcome

I am Associate Professor at the Department of Agricultural Sciences, Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Copenhagen. The past 15 years I have been employed by The Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University in various functions, relating to Soil Fertility and Plant Nutrition, with a special emphasis on Environmental Impacts of Agricultural practices.

In essence most of my scientific work examines nutrient cycles, biological fertility and various associated processes spanning from molecular scales to systemic levels, in laboratory micro- and mesocosms, field studies as well as nutrient balances at metropolitan and even regional scales.

During the years I have built a large interdisciplinary network of collaborators, nationally and internationally, ranging from biological and earth systems sciences, over technical engineering, to anthropology and political sciences.
