Hi!

I am Danish-American Ph.D. candidate in quantum physics. I am currently at the Center for Quantum Mathematics and Physics (QMAP) at UC Davis, studying under the supervision of Jaroslav Trnka. Before moving to California, I received my Bachelors and Masters degrees in Physics at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. I love to solve hard problems using math and programming. My current research is in theoretical high energy physics, specifically in the geometric structure of scattering amplitudes. On this site you can find links to my research and other related works.

Navigate below to see a list of my publications and teaching experience.
