Professor of STEM Education and Science Communication

I am Director of Centre for Research in Science Education and Communication (FNUG), where education and communication scholars collaborate with mathematicians, physicists, chemists, biologists and other scientists to create inspiring and formative educational experiences - remodeling science education for engagement. Read about our transdisciplinary center.

One of my core practices is leadership. Besides my center directorship, I am section leader and part of the management team at Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. I lead the cross-institutional partnership Laboratory for STEM Education and Learning and co-direct Centre for Primary and Lower Secondary Education Research. Furthermore, I serve on the executive research committee of the Danish Academy of Natural Science (CESE).

My research interest is to explore how learning, knowing and understanding are mediated by information and communication designs. With colleagues I work to innovate education through transdisciplinary practice. My research is interventionist and curatorial: carefully crafting knowledge production, experience and communication. I design and facilitate individual and collective knowledge processes, engaging visual, spatial, textual and performative modes of communication, engagement and understanding.

I am PI on the LabSTEM+ project (NNF, 5 mio DKK, 2023-2025) and the Longitudinal NAFA Knowledge Ecology project (CESE, 4 mio DKK, 2023-2026), and I contribute to several other research projects. 

I consult on practice-based curatorial research projects, am board member of the socio-economic business Roskilde Congress Center, and former member of Innovation Fund Denmarks Industrial PhD Comittee (2020-2021).

I thrive in open and collaborative environments. Every day, I do my best to nudge academia in that direction.
