About my way of working...

 

Creative, thorough & critically :: Perfection is just only acceptable...!

 

My very first scientific paper

The article was published in 1978: I was only 24 years old, and looked slightly different then...

I am particularly proud of this work from my time as a young researcher, because one of my following publications was referenced in a paper in Nature in 2007 explaining how the calcium pump in muscle cells works.

Private life

I am 68½ years old and married to Lisbeth Risager Gerdes, who is a nurse specialist at the Intensive Care Unit at Sygehus Lillebælt in Kolding, and also a trained organist.

We live in Taulov in a house with a beautiful view over a valley (see above), and have two children born in 2003 and 2005.

I have 3 other children, born in 1978, 1989 and 1996.

 

Frida, Gustav, [me], Sebastian, Jonas and Josefine

My occupations tend to coincident with my professional interests, e.g. because I am very interested in modelling complex systems and in informatics, particularly with efficient use of information and communication technology, and AI.

But I do some art painting [see left], read a lot, and like modern philosophy, history and science-fiction.
