My list of publications is available; some of the papers may be downloaded.
I studied at the Institute for Physics and Astronomy, Aarhus University for my Master's (1991) and Ph.D. degrees (1993), with Ejvind Bonderup and Klaus Mølmer as supervisors. I spent the second year of my Ph.D. studies at the Laboratoire Kastler-Brossel, Département de Physique, Ecole Normale Supérieure, where I worked in the group of Claude Cohen-Tannoudji and Jean Dalibard. In December of 1993, I finished my Ph.D. thesis entitled Quantum Mechanical Descriptions of 2D Laser Cooling. Then, I went to the States as a postdoctoral fellow at the Rowland Institute for Science, Cambridge, MA, where I worked in the Atom Cooling research group of Professor Lene Hau. In my first year at Rowland, I was supported by a research stipend from the Carlsberg Foundation. In 1996, I returned to Denmark, to work at the Niels Bohr Institute . My research here has dealt with evaporative cooling leading to Bose-Einstein condensation in dilute alkali gases, and different phenomena in such Bose-Einstein condensates in periodic porentials. In February 1999, I initiated an optical tweezers project at the Niels Bohr Institute, with Lene Oddershede and Sonia Grego. All information on the research connected to the optical tweezers group can be found on the tweezers group homepage. In September 2005, I moved to Department of Physics, The Technical University of Denmark, as associate professor of biological physics, in the BioComplex Group.
