As teaching coordinator at the Niels Bohr Institute, my work revolves around physics in many ways, even though I don’t actually do physics myself anymore.
I help make sure everything around the institute’s teaching runs smoothly; this includes assigning teachers to courses, organizing information meetings for the students, making course descriptions and education webpages, coordinating new teaching labs in the Niels Bohr Building, and answering a million questions from teachers and students.
I am especially happy to have a lot of interaction with the wonderful physics students through the teaching committee, events and celebrations, teaching assistants and a lot of the work I do for recruitment of new students, which involves e.g. videos and Social Media. We try to represent the physics education realistically while also showing all the different possibilities in order to appeal to students of diverse backgrounds. Last year we increased the intake fraction of female students to 32%, and I am very excited to see if the trend holds!
The prize committee will select a winner who will be announced at an award ceremony at the KIF Annual Meeting on June 4th, 2024 taking place at Aud. A, Niels Bohr Institute, Blegdamsvej 17, 2100 Copenhagen.
The winner will be notified in writing in advance and invited to give a talk following the ceremony.
