Research

My research work revolves mainly around Monte Carlo simulation of hadronic collisions, and collisions of heavy ions. Mainly using the general purpose Monte Carlo event generator PYTHIA, of which I am a co-author. I am mainly interested in cases for collisions of "small systems", meaning for example protons, behave like collisions of heavy nuclei. In these cases the collisions exhibit so-called "collective behavior", where the emerging particles act as if they are produced by a single body of matter. The calculations used to describe this, involves multibody dynamics of Lund strings.

Outreach

I write popular articles on physics, in the magazine "Science Illustrated", see the literature list below. I am furthermore topic responsible for several sub-topics of high energy physics on the Danish National Encyclopedia. I also give the occasional outreach talk, contact me if you are interested.

IT

I am responsible for parts of the division IT, related to webpage administration as well as the Physics CodeLAB infrastructure. Feel free to drop me an email or to come by.
