I live in the town of Kolding in Danmark

I teach physics, math and general science in the danish high school system and in the IB system. My students are thus 16 to 19 years old. Look here:

to se some of my pictures from a sports-day at school. I have taught at quite a few schools including the university of Copenhagen. And I have worked as project manager for the danish science center, Experimentarium:

In Denmark we are right now implementing a reform of the high school system so much of my time is spend on understanding this reform and developing new study plans in this system.

Professionally I am interested in developing simple procedures and funny experiments to be used by the students in their experimental training. Here: http://www.datalyse.dk/carl/original/Spektre.pdf is an article I wrote recently dealing with simple spectroscopy using an ordinary digital camera and a grating. A number of spectra obtained with this technique and with english captions can be found at:

A number of other references can be found if you google me, but much is in danish.

My experiences with particle physics, apart from the high school radioactivity experiments, are limited to general trouble with a cloud chamber and hosting an exhibition: "When energy becomes matter E=mc^2" from CERN at Experimentarium.

In my private life I live together with Lisa and her two children Mea,17 and Eskild,13. I have a son Rasmus at age 30 and a granddaughter Isabel at 3. I moved from Copenhagen to Kolding quite recently due to love and have just begun to become acclimatized to provincial life.

I do little sport but bike around. Reading and photography are my main sparetime interests.
