  At The Danish Natural Environment Portal I'm responsible for the data concerning Nature, which are organized in two databases "Naturdatabasen” og "Rottereden". Currently I'm working on how to make data easily available for the government, the municipalities and the public. Previously I have focusing on how to increase our user satisfaction through a number of actions; online education, in-place education (roadshow), improved manuals and better use of FAQ. I'm involved with the project "Fagdatavindue på Arealinformation", where I'm coordinating usability tests regarding the new user interface concerning the area "Nature". Show less

• Field work in Vietnam, analysis in Denmark

• Master thesis project

  • Feb 2012 - Nov 2012

  For my master thesis I investigate intensification of rice production in North Vietnam. For the project I was cooperating with the Soil and Fertilizers Research Institute in Hanoi. During my stay in Vietnam I used questionnaires to interview local farmers about their livelihood and which agronomic and socioeconomic constraints they had concerning their rice production. Furthermore I organized PRA (participatory rural appraisal) sessions with farmers, where they discussed the constraints concerning their rice production. I made semi-structured interviews with different stakeholders about their viewpoints of the current situation regarding low rice prices and the farmers' low income from rice and high output to fertilizers.

• Msc in Agricultural Development

  • Sep 2010 - Nov 2012

  During my master program in Agricultural Development I have focused on how to develop agricultural systems in developing countries, in order to obtain a more sustainable production and higher output. I have required knowledge in how to manage limited natural resources in ways so both the local population and nature can benefit from a more sustainable use. I have gained insight into the consequences of deforestation and how overuse and destruction of natural resources can influence the environment and affect the people depending on the resources.

• SLUSE. Course: Interdisciplinary Land Use and Natural Resource Management

  • Feb 2011 - Mar 2011

  Field work in South Africa in cooperation with students from University of Kwa-Zulu Nathal (South Africa), Roskilde University, Geography (University of Copenhagen). My group investigated the impact of Wattle on rural livelihood in three villages in Ongeluksnek area. Wattle is an invasive tree species in South Africa and is seen both as a pest and a resource for the local population. For the investigations we used questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and PRA (participatory rural appraisal) for getting information about the local people’ perception of wattle. Furthermore we used GPS mapping of the area and tree measurements to quantify the spread of wattle stands in the area. Show less

• Student assistant at the Terrestrial Ecology Section

  • 2009 - 2011

  During my work at the Section for Terrestrial Ecology I worked with a number of methods from field work to molecular methods. I participated in preparation of field experiments and have taken part in the process of collecting samples from the field and preparing the samples for characterisation in stereo microscope and molecular DNA analysis. Specifically I have worked on the following:• Harvested plants from natural calcareous grassland (Denmark), washed, sieved and prepared root samples for arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi DNA extractions.• Dyed root samples with trypan blue for analysis of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Used a stereo microscope and the gridline intersect method to estimating the level of colonization.• Extracted DNA and amplified fungal DNA through PCR. Ran electrophoresis gels to visualize the amplified PCR bands and quantified DNA using a photometer. • Counting of acridine orange dyes bacteria using a fluorescence microscope.• Prepared and processed fungal in-growth mesh bags and scored abundance of mycorrhizal in-growth. • Purified PCR products for sequencing using the filter membrane method.• Washed roots from soil samples collected at the CLIMATE Research Facility at Brandbjerg and sorted roots of the species Calluna vulgaris and Deschampsia sp using a stereo microscope.

• Bachelor thesis

  • Mar 2009 - Jun 2009

  My bachelor thesis concerned characterization of Arabiopsis-mutants for abscicis acid (ABA) responses. I investigated if genotypes were mutated in the synthesis or signal transduction pathways of ABA. The investigations included experimental tests of germination, root length, and stomatal water loss.
