Job description:

I am involved in research projects in the general area of Computational Astrophysics, at the Niels Bohr Institute (NBI). I teach a course in Computer Physics each fall, and also give other courses related to Numerical Astrophysics. I am a member of the Technical Committee of the Danish Center for Scientific Computing, and member of the Danish Astronomy Board (Astronomisk Udvalg).

I supervise a number of post docs, PhD and Masters students: Jacob Trier Fredriksen,, Christian Hededal, Jakob Hunsballe, Antonio Lopez Merino, Boris Gudiksen. Rasmus Bjørk, Martin Fruergaard Laursen, Tobias Heinemann. Klaus Galsgard finished his PhD in 1995, has worked in St. Andrews for seven years, was a Carlsberg post doc at AO, and now has a permanent position as associate professor at the NBI. Bertil Dorch finished his PhD in December 1998, was a post doc at Stockholm Observatory, and is now employed at DNLB, with part time research in the group as an adjoint associate professor. Paolo Padoan finished his PhD in October 1997, has been a post doc at Harvard and JPL, and he is now faculty at UCSD, where he has joined Mike Norman's group. Hans-Gunter Ludwig Bernd Freitag and Lionel Bigot have been visiting as TMR post docs.
