I am a PhD student at the Section of Oral Radiology and Endodontics, Department of Dentistry and Oral Health, Aarhus University. My primary research area is low-dose CBCT in relation to third molars. The principal supervisor of my PhD project is Louise Hauge Matzen, and my co-supervisors are Lars Schropp and Pankaj Taneja. The aim of the project is to investigate for which diagnostic parameters low-dose CBCT can be used, with the overall goal of reducing radiation dose to patients.
In addition, my PhD project includes a quantitative study investigating the general population’s attitudes towards and knowledge of X-rays and radiographic examinations. As clinicians, we often have a clear understanding of the purpose of radiographic imaging, but it is also important to investigate the patient perspective, including patients’ knowledge, concerns, and attitudes towards radiographic examinations.
My research is primarily based in Denmark, but we also collaborate with the University of Sydney in Australia on two of the three subprojects included in my PhD thesis. As part of this collaboration, I will undertake a research stay in Australia, where I will visit my co-supervisor Pankaj Taneja for one month from mid-October to mid-November 2026.
I am a qualified dentist and have clinical experience from both private practice and municipal dental care.
My primary area of work is research within oral radiology, with a particular focus on third molars. The aim of my project is to investigate which diagnostic parameters low-dose CBCT can be used for, with the goal of reducing radiation dose to patients without compromising diagnostic quality.
Alongside my research, I work as a dentist in private practice at Brædstrup Implantatcenter.
As my research is clinically grounded, I aim to contribute to the development of knowledge that can be directly translated into clinical practice within oral radiology and the diagnostic assessment of third molars.
