Summary of experience 9 years of professional experience in
materials science from the Technical University of Denmark and
Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. My main topics
were characterisation and analysis of thin films and coatings using
transmission electron microscopy. Some teaching experience obtained
at DTU. The following 5 years were spent working in the high
voltage laboratory of the Department of Electric Power Engineering
on the Technical University of Denmark. This period comprises
experience with cryogenics (liquid nitrogen), high voltage test of
cable and thermo-electrical insulator, high currents and vacuum
techniques. In detail the experience covers measurements of
mechanical, thermal and electrical characteristics on high
temperature superconducting tapes, cable models and terminations.
During the last 3 years the test facility and the planning and
testing of high temperature superconducting cable models have been
part of my responsibility. Little experience with teaching classes,
more experience with teaching at advanced level (supervising). The
recent 4 years of work at Ultera included almost all aspects of
work with design, construction, testing and reporting on commercial
prototype superconducting cable, termination, splice and cooling
system. Testing was done at NKT Research, DTU, IHK (Ballerup) and
ORNL, Tennessee (US). Further, the work included responsibility
with the websites www.ultera.net (our home page) and
www.supercables.com, involvement in our own and others patents
(IP), field installation in Columbus, Ohio, conferences as well as
guest teaching at DTU. Award(s) August 2001 The Electro Prize 2001

April 1995 Senior research scientist on the National Centre for
High Resolution Electron Microscopy, Laboratory of Materials
Science, Delft University of Technology, Delft, Holland. Project
title: Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of Ti doped or ion
irradiated Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox, TEM of catalysts and TEM of
superconducting thin films using the exit wave reconstruction
technique (from a focus series) in order to improve the resolution
of the microscope to 0.1 nm. Financed one and a half year by FOM.

Science, Delft University of Technology, Delft, Holland. 1991 post
doc. on the National Centre for High Resolution Electron
Microscopy, Delft University of Technology, Delft in the
Netherlands the first 2 years supported by BRITE/EURAM and the
third year supported by the Dutch fund of "Fundamentaal Onderzoek
der Materie" (FOM). The subject of the research was: "High
Resolution Electron Microscopy of Grain Boundaries and
Film/Substrate Interfaces in the High Tc superconductor YBa2Cu3O7".
Part of this work was included in the Ph.D. dissertation. January
1988 Ph.D. student at Physics Institute, Technical University of
Denmark, Lyngby, Copenhagen, Denmark. The subject of the Ph.D.
study was: "An Electron Microscopical Investigation of GaAs/AlGaAs
Heterostructures and Ceramic Superconductors of the type YBCO". The
dissertation was defended in Copenhagen (August 1994) and the Ph.D.
degree granted (March 1995). February 1987 Master of Science in
Electrical Engineering, Technical University of Denmark, Lyngby,
Copenhagen, Denmark. 1981 Graduated from Hjørring Gymnasium
(preuniversity).
