M.Sc. & Eng., Ph.D.
External lecturer at IMM, DTU
Senior research scientist at DTU Aqua (formerly known as DIFRES, the Danish Institute for Fisheries Research)

I conduct research at DTU Aqua in stochastic dynamic models in marine biology, oceanography, and fisheries. Contact me for details, if you are interested, have a look at my publications, or look at my CV.

Methodological areas of expertise

Probability theory, Stochastic processes, Markov processes, Diffusion processes, Analysis, estimation, and control, Dynamic systems, Optimisation.

Examples of applications

Dispersion of particles in ocean currents, optimal life histories of fish, flow and transport around zooplankton, spatial pattern formation in ecosystems, estimation of movement and behaviour patterns of fish based on Data Storage Tags.

Teaching

I am involved in three courses offered by DTU Aqua:

• 25303 Mathematical biology
• 25304 Differential equations in biology
• 02425 Diffusions and stochastic differential equations

I have previously been teaching the following courses at IMM:

• 02407 Stochastic processes
• 02405 Probability theory
• 02443 Stochastic simulation

Student projects

I have a list of projects, suitable for students at all levels. The common theme is that the problem originates from the sea, and must be solved with theory of stochastic processes. DTU students may search for projects in the project database with may name here. Alternatively, contact me by e-mail if you are interested. An earlier list of projects, which may still serve as inspiration, lives at the Catalogue of Student Projects at DTU Aqua.
