Professor in theoretical marine ecology at AQUA, DTU. Deputy chair in the Centre for Ocean Life.

My mission is to simulate global ecosystems for understanding the past and present, and to inform policy and management about our future

I combine theoretical physics with ecology to make quantitative predictions of ecosystems' structure and function, from bacteria to whales, and use evolutionary theory to understand the diversity of life history strategies

My aspiration is to inspire and educate the next generation of quantitative Earth System ecologists
