Control and automation engineer from Aalborg University.The semester projects provide an overview of my focus areas in my studies. Most recently I explored nonlinear control strategies.List of Semester Projects:10th - Swing-Up and Stabilization of a Cart Pendulum and Twin Pendulum System (see video)9th - Sliding Mode Stabilization and Phase Plane Trajectory Planning for a Cart Pendulum System8th - Precision Control of an Autonomous Surface Vessel7th - Attitude and Position Control of a Quadcopter in a Networked Distributed System6th - Cubli, Dynamic Control of a Reaction Wheel Inverted Pendulum5th - Autonomous Lawn Mover, Utilizing a Local Positioning System4th - Autonomous Surface Vehicle Controlled Using FPGA (for data collection in streams)3rd - Switch-mode Assisted Class AB Amplifier2nd - Test Environment for CubeSat Attitude Control System1st - Alarm System for Circulation Water Heater (primary alarm type: SMS)Aalborg University has a solid focus on problem based learning and group work; 15 of the 30 ECTS points pr. semester is dedicated to work in project groups. More than giving hands on experience this aids faster learning and makes bigger achievements in the span of a semester possible. Most importantly though, it provides a toolbox for working in project groups and as this toolbox grows so does productivity.Having travelled alone to the UK and US on several occasions and taken a semester abroad in Trondheim, Norway, I am used to international communication and enjoy meeting new people and cultures.I like being thorough and easily get immersed in the task at hand.I am optimistic with a good mood and enjoy working in teams.

Listed skills include Analog Circuit Design, Engineering Mathematics, Embedded C, Vhdl, and 2 others.
