VisualCV

Research: Studying the

initial value problem of general relativity and the implementation of
adaptive mesh refinement techniques in numerical relativity.

Teaching: Teaching assistant in Computer
Physics, Astronomical Observatory, University of Copenhagen, fall 1999,
2000 and 2001. Responsible for Astronomy Exercise 4, Astronomical Observatory,
University of Copenhagen, a two week exercise in Relativistic Astrophysics.

Outreach: Responsible for the astronomy workshop for
"HCØ-dage", a three day program for high school students interested
in studying science, fall 1999 and 2000. I have given lectures about
black holes at "Folkeuniversitetet" and for classes of high school
students. Participated in a TV program about black holes, wormholes
and time-machines.

Courses and schools: During my master's and ph.d. education I have
taken courses on the following subjects: Cosmology, Relativistic Astrophysics,
Stellar Structure and Evolution, Galaxy Formation and Evolution, Large
Scale Structure of the Universe, General Relativity, Physics of Black Holes
and Numerical Methods (using MHD-related problems as examples). In the
summer of 1999 I participated in the "Computing Our Universe" Summer School
at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.

Research: code development, visualization, implementation and testing evolution systems and mesh
refinement techniques for Numerical Relativity.

Outreach: Participated in MathFest, 2002, an event where
girls in 8-10th grade interested in science could come to Penn State
and learn about many scientific disciplines. Participated in Space Day
2003, a day of exhibitions and activities for children of all ages.

Research: Worked on the HAD code, a code for combining fluid dynamics and numerical relativity.

During this period I was stationed at Metropol Online A/S, which develops website for one of the major Danish media conglomorates ("Det Berlingske Officin"). Their systems are developed on a Linux/Apache/mod_perl/Oracle platform. Most of the online newspapers are now migrated to Saxotech Online Systems platform, a process that I was also involved in.

Projects:

• Access to full archive (new subscription type) for Weekendavisen

• Stabilization of JydskeVestkystens website after converting to new CMS system.

• Rewrite of the CMS system Phonix' caching system to be able to handle server side includes
  

• Development of payments systems for Berlingske Tidende so online subscribers kan pay by PBS (a Danish system for payments)
• Development of business.dk  I was a member of the project team from the development of the specs to lanuch.
  

• Development of findalt.dk. Implementation of payment systems, implementation of an auktion system, implementation of importing xml feeds, development of adminitration module.

Contracts:

June 18th to july 31st 2007: Worked a Telia. Wokred on Telias self-developed cms system. The system uses xml and xslt. Perl code glues it all together. Parts of the system is based on Perl catalyst.

August 31st 2007 to January 31st 2008: Developed Sirpa for "Dansk Biblioteks Center" Sirpa is a kiosk app that displays informations on big screens at libraries about books, local events, film, history or anything else of interest to library goers. When I started the project noone has a clear idea of what the app should do, so I had a very free hand in deciding what features to implement and how to make the system work. I developed the backend in CakePHP as I couldn't talk them into using Ruby on Rails. The system is now in use in libraries all over Denmark.

February 1st to September 30th 2008: I have worked on and recently launched my own application. I have some buniess partners who have back me up financially. The application can be seen at http://proindx.dk. The site is a place for businesses to meet consultants. As opposed to other similar boards, my app takes a social networking approach to the task, and consultants can display who they know and have worked for on their profiles. I use similarity algorithms to compute which candidates/contracts match ("If you like this consultant you might also like..."). The app was developed on Ruby on Rails. This project was terminated due to lack of funding.

March 2009 - August 2010: Have been working on an ERP system for a company contracting for the government and dealing with the unemployed ("anden aktør" in Danish). The system is developed entirely on Ruby on Rails.

August 2010 - now: I am currently senior developer on a Facebook application for marketing films on social media. I am developing the backend, which is done in Ruby on Rails. This project is a startup under Startup Bootcamp: http://www.startupbootcamp.dk/

During this period I have been visiting the production software group at the Welcome Trust Sanger Insitute near Cambridge UK to help develop software for monitoring and analyzing the gene sequencing pipeline, and mining the databases for interessting information. The software is based on Ruby/Ruby on Rails and this is an opportunity for me to combine my interesst in Ruby on Rails with my background in science.
