Has been Principal investigator, project manager and project working package responsible for around 40 research projects in Bio-environmental engineering, including climatic system modelling and control; air quality and air distribution control in room, instrumentation and sensing, modelling mass transfer in emission boundary layer, odour and gases emission and dispersion from livestock buildings. Many of those projects are application oriented, especially the larger project
with close collaborations with industry, public service sectors and other research institutes. Currently coordinates
two large national research projects with a total funding about 26 mil DKK and an EU COST (network) project
with 32 European countries and four international partner counties.

Has supervised 14 Ph.Ds (10 in the last 10-years, after joining in AU) & 7 post docs in the areas of modelling and control 
of indoor climate, smart ventilation; air distribution and gas & odour emission from livestock buildings; Has been 
mentor for 9 international guest Ph.Ds and a numbers of visiting scientist. 
Is currently the principle supervisor for 3 Ph.D. projects; 1 postdoc projects
Responsible for M.Sc. and Ph.D. program in “Fluid Dynamics and Building Ventilation”

Responsible for a M.Sc. Course on Air Physics and Ventilation and a Ph.D. Course on Ventilation, Indoor Air Quality and Environments
