Professional Experience
Saltfoss Energy (formerly Seaborg Technologies)
Serve as a system technical lead within molten-salt reactor development, guiding design work for the system and coordinating with other technical leads.
Establish modelling approaches and develop tools for engineering analysis, then support colleagues in taking ownership while remaining available for technical review and guidance.
Combine engineering leadership with hands-on modelling and analysis across reactor physics and thermal hydraulics, including development with the MOOSE Framework.
Developed and applied Python and Modelica models for molten-salt reactor physics, thermal hydraulics, and system dynamics.
Responsibilities across both roles include publishing peer-reviewed research and representing the company at scientific conferences and industry forums in Denmark and internationally. Supervised two master’s research projects; both students subsequently accepted positions at the company.
Paul Scherrer Institute
Developed numerical methods and high-fidelity simulations of phase change and nucleate boiling.
Implemented numerical methods in the C++ PSI-BOIL research code; verified and validated models and investigated microlayer dynamics.
Supervised four student projects, resulting in published research.
Led exercise sessions for a course at ETH Zurich.
Supplementary Projects
Winterlead
Completed projects in software development and computational engineering, including software for Quantified Carbon and volunteer technical contributions to the Repower Initiative.
