Biography
I received my MSc degree in physics (minor in mathematics) in 2000 from the University of Aarhus, Denmark. In 2004 I completed my PhD degree in Physics at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel. From 2004 to 2006 I was a post doctoral fellow at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg Maryland USA. After a period at New York University USA I joined the University of Otago as a lecturer in 2007.
