I am a systems neuroscientist and electrophysiologist studying the brain’s neuronal network dynamics. I am an incoming group leader at the Neuroscience department at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. My research is focused on spatial memory and the involved mechanisms like theta oscillations in behaving rats, and the development of related tools. This is funded by a Lundbeck Fellowship.
I did my postdoc in the lab of György Buzsáki at NYU Neuroscience Institute. I received funding for my postdoc from the Danish Council for Independent Research and the Lundbeck Foundation.
During my Ph.D. I studied the network architecture behind motor pattern generation, using combined high-density silicon probes together with intracellular- and electroneurogram recordings from the turtle spinal cord. I graduated from University of Copenhagen in 2015 from the lab of Rune Berg.

Movement is governed by rotational population dynamics in spinal motor networks (bioRxiv)
Although the nervous system is elegantly orchestrating movements, the underlying neural principles remain unknown. Since flexor- and extensor-muscles alternate during movements like walking, it is often assumed that the [...]
3D-printed recoverable microdrive and base plate system for rodent electrophysiology (Bio-protocol)
Extracellular recordings in freely moving animals allow the monitoring of brain activity from populations of neurons at single-spike temporal resolution. While state-of-the-art electrophysiological recording devices have been developed in [...]
Metal microdrive and head cap system for silicon probe recovery in freely moving rodent (eLife)
High-yield electrophysiological extracellular recording in freely moving rodents provides a unique window into the temporal dynamics of neural circuits. Recording from unrestrained animals is critical to investigate brain activity during [...]

A very good article about my research with György Buzsáki, written by Henrik Larsen from the Lundbeck Foundation. You can find the article here. Also available in danish here. [...]
Cooling of medial septum reveals theta phase lag coordination of hippocampal cell assemblies (Neuron)
Hippocampal theta oscillations coordinate neuronal firing to support memory and spatial navigation. The medial septum (MS) is critical in theta generation by two possible mechanisms: either a unitary “pacemaker” timing [...]
CellExplorer: a graphical user interface and standardized pipeline for characterizing spiking features of single neurons
Framework for single-cell classification The large diversity of cell types of the brain provides the means by which circuits perform complex operations. Understanding such diversity is one of the [...]
