My grand scheme is to develop methods and tools for interdisciplinary work, to bridge the fields of engineering and design towards transdisciplinary methods and processes. I have an ongoing interest in personal and wearable technology, smart textiles, Art Nouveau and Computational Thinking.

my profile in DTU Orbit, in Google Scholar, and in ORCID.
