Primary function: Associated professor
9 years of professional experience in materials science from the
Technical University of Denmark and Delft University of Technology
in the Netherlands . Main topics were characterisation and analysis
of thin films and coatings using transmission electron microscopy.
Some teaching experience obtained at DTU.
Following 5 years were spent working in the high voltage laboratory
of the Department of Electric Power Engineering on the Technical
University of Denmark. This period comprises experience with
cryogenics (liquid nitrogen), high voltage test of cable and
thermo-electrical insulator, high currents and vacuum techniques.
In detail the experience covers measurements of mechanical, thermal
and electrical characteristics on high temperature superconducting
tapes, cable models and terminations. The last 3 years of the
period test facility, planning and testing of high temperature
superconducting cable models was my responsibility. More
experience with teaching classes, more experience with teaching at
advanced level (supervision).
Recent 4 years of work at Ultera included almost all aspects of
work with design, construction, testing and reporting on commercial
prototype superconducting cable, termination, splice and cooling
system. Testing was done at NKT Research, DTU, IHK (Ballerup) and
ORNL, Tennessee (US). Further, the work included responsibility
with the websites www.ultera.net (our home page)
and www.supercables.com,
involvement in our own and others patents (IP), field installation
in Columbus, Ohio , conferences as well as guest teaching at
DTU.
