Control and numerical analysis of mechanical systems.
Teaching
In the fall 2008 I will be in charge of the course "ME 678 Advanced Dynamics."
In June 2005 and June 2006 I assisted my Ph.D. advisor Poul G. Hjorth
in the teaching of the course "01451 Classical Mechanics and Symplectic
Integration" at DTU. The course duration was three weeks; the first two weeks
consisted of lectures and problem solving, and the last week was devoted to the
solution of a mini project. The course material was the
lecture notes
and
exercises
(
short version
)
along with a few selected sections from the book "Geometric Numerical
Integration. Structure Preserving Algorithms for Ordinary Differential
Equations" by E. Hairer, C. Lubich, and G. Wanner.
Popularizing Science - The Tippe Top
In connection with the annual science fair "Den naturvidenskabelige landsby"
in Copenhagen 2006 I have written a
short manual on how to construct a tippe top
. This has been produced after looking at various commercially available tippe
tops, and many hours of trial and error. Following this guide about twenty out
of the thirty tippe tops I constructed worked perfectly, whereas the rest did
not work too well.
