I have a PhD in theoretical physics from Aarhus University. In my PhD project I studied mainly the interaction of atoms and molecules with intense lasers. In order to obtain an accurate theoretical description of these processes I developed numerical simulation tools with a special view to parallelised design so that the simulation could be executed efficiently on the cluster computing systems of the time (2003-2007).

After I completed my education, I worked as a postdoc at Aarhus University and later as AIX and Linux system administrator at IBM.
