Ongoing and completed student projects and theses

I am continuously supervising students at both bachelor (BSc), master (MSc) and PhD levels, either as main or co-supervisor. PhD students are often in collaboration with external people where scattering studies plays a complementary part in a larger project and it is sometimes difficult to draw a line between supervision and collaboration. Usually it evolves from one to the other. The combined grade point average of all the BSc and MSc projects I have supervised is 11.05 on the Danish 12 point scale (as of January 2024).
