Profile

Since 2019 I have been employed at the Department of Forensic Medicine, Aarhus University and became a certified Forensic Pathologist in 2022. I have previously worked at the Department of Forensic Medicine, University of Copenhagen, from where I earned my PhD in 2018.

Consultancy

I am a medical doctor of the reserve of the Danish Armed Forces Medical Corps. I act as a consultant in matters related to Forensic Medicine within the Danish Armed Forces.

Job responsibilities

In my daily work I perform autopsies to determine cause and manner of death as well as examinations of the living in cases of violence and/or rape in order to document injuries and collect DNA evidence.

A special area of interest is forensic neuropathology, that is trauma-based injuries of the brain.
