Nordic Optical Telescope, La Palma, Spain — One of my favorite places on Earth!
During the long Danish winter nights, I always used to look out my window and wonder what was out there.
Later I went on to study physics and astronomy at the University of Copenhagen where I obtained
my PhD in 2015. During my PhD, I finally got a chance to live my childhood dream of observing at a big telescope.
Since then I have gone observing at some of the best observatories in the world -- my all-time favorite remains the Nordic Optical Telescope on La Palma, Spain (shown on the picture above).
My research focuses on the evolution of galaxies in the distant universe,
specifically how the gas in galaxies shapes their evolution.
