Research

My research covers a broad range of areas, with a unifying theme being the individual response to a given interventional stimulus and its impact on human physical performance. My studies range from methodological investigations of blood volume measurements to clinically relevant aspects of blood manipulation, anti-doping, altitude training, and training studies in both men and women. Through my work, I contribute to a more nuanced understanding of how physiological interventions can affect both health and performance across the spectrum from untrained individuals to elite athletes.
 

Profile

I have a degree in sports science and human physiology from the University of Copenhagen and have a particular interest in elite sports, anti-doping efforts, performance optimization, as well as the individual human response to a wide range of stimuli (training, low oxygen availability ["altitude training"], etc.). My background also gives me a natural and genuine interest in interdisciplinary collaborations, where competencies and methods from my field can be applied in other contexts.

I am also one out of two member of the Academic Council at the Faculty of Health.

Teaching

I teach basic- and exercise physiology courses at both the Sports Science, Medicine, and Dentistry programs at Aarhus University.

In addition, I am also part of the national examiner corps for sports science programs in Denmark.

Job responsibilities

My primary areas of work are research and teaching. My research focuses on the individual physiological response to various stimuli and its impact on physical performance. My teaching relates to physiology courses across health science programs at Aarhus University. Additionally, I am a member of the Academic Council at Health, where we are involved in overarching strategic initiatives.
