Professional info
I am currently working at the international engineering consultancy company COWI as
Head of Section - Offshore Wind for the Wind Energy & Renewables in Hamburg, Offshore Geotechnics and Structures.
I first became interested in the field of geotechnics during my undergraduate studies and continued to obtain two masters and a PhD in the field. These diverse experiences have not only strengthened my theoretical knowledge in the field of geomechanical engineering but also formed my organizational, communicative and team working skills in multicultural environments.
