Abhinav Verma is a doctoral student with 4 years of experience in Quantum Physics at DTU Physics, specializing in non-Gaussian multimode entangled quantum states. He holds a Master’s degree in Physics and Nanotechnology from DTU and a Bachelor’s degree in Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering from the University of Mumbai. His interests lie in Quantum Information Processing and fundamental properties of light.
As a new master’s student who came to Denmark from India, life was hard and I constantly wished someone could show me the ways and the tricks of trade so that I could settle in easily. There is a lot of very subtle details people miss out on or learn much later than they should (which could potentially make their life easier). I hope to help someone else who probably feels the same way and could use some help from someone who has been in the situation and got out alive. Besides, it would be a great opportunity to revisit the tight turns through someone else and experience some second hand excitement.

I have been working for more than a decade within cybersecurity. After a couple of years spent with reversing malware at an anti-virus company, now my focus is on developing and maintaining tools and systems used during Incident Response assignments at a mid-size company located in Copenhagen. My MSc thesis at DTU was titled “Automatic Attack Identification in IDS systems” – I implemented two IDS-like systems – one based on machine learning and another one based on attack trees, then compared their performance.
The fast pace cybersecurity is evolving never ceases to amaze me. People often find it difficult to get into this field professionally – also, on a personal level I did realise the extent of the invaluable advice I had received earlier during my career. Now it is my turn to give that back to the community, while perhaps improving my motivational skills!

Experienced leader and a mechanical engineer – loves to establish and maintain high-performance teams, and have experience from Vestas, LEO Pharma, and Novo Nordisk.
I am a cybersecurity professional having informal leadership responsibilities. I have worked in the industry from startups to large global enterprises for 5+ years with a range of different focus areas from frontend and accessibility to backend and DevOps principles. I have been trying my hand at a range of different things and failed more times than succeeded but always with a learning mindset. My professional interests include cybersecurity, engineering principles, and personal growth. I have also taken a break during my career where I went traveling and have not taken a particularly standard path throughout my career, experiencing burnout, but also been lucky to grow and reconcile work and life.
There’s many advantages for me to be a mentor, getting to know young people and sense what students are focused on, improving my communication and listening skills, improving my network and potentially get contacts for future recruiting but at the end of the day, it’s giving back. My motivation is to give back to the world, helping students navigate the transition from the safe bubble of studying to the wild jungle of the real world life. In short, I want to be the kind of help I felt I could have used when I was a student.
I’m looking for an open-minded mentee. That’s it. Whatever else is needed from me is up to me to adapt and try and provide. Open-mindedness is a requirement for succeeding in a mentor-mentee partnership everything else, interests, or doubts, or curiosities that match the things I’ve been through is a bonus.
5+ years of experience in the IT sector, having worked in early pre-seed startups, mid-sized companies as well as in Microsoft. Career has been focused on software engineering and delivering high-quality software.
I am a specialist having 3 years experience in the renewables energy sector and another 2.5 years experience in financial markets.
My career has focused on mathematical modelling for the two sectors, including developing optimization algorithms, uncertainty modelling and statistics. I am also a relatively strong coder.
Recently, I have started taking on project management roles: I am leading Ørsted’s R&D line in Advanced Modelling as well as taking a leading role in a development project.
I am considering to move towards a manager role position as next career step, as I am quite interested in other’s people development and how I can best support them in their journey.
I have had myself a mentor in the last three years, and that is something I feel very thankful about. So in some sense, I would like to give a mentee the same positive experience that I had.
Mentoring for me is about you as mentee: where are you now, what are your aspirations, what are your current challenges. You are on the driver seat, meaning that I am going to try as much as I can to ask you a lot of questions rather than providing you with specific answers. I imagine that I will share insights from my experience based on what are interested in.

Double degree graduate engineer with a combined education in sustainable energy and electrical energy systems. On top of a background in electrical engineering specialized in power system operation, I have deepened my knowledge of the development and implementation of data-driven statistical learning algorithms.
In the past 5 years, I have accumulated a weird mix of experience in different fields ranging across data science, mathematics, sustainable energy, container shipping, software engineering, and economics. I’m a geek at heart (and in mind) but with a strong flavor for bridging the gap between technology and business.
The main reason to be a mentor is that I wish I had one while approaching the end of my studies a few years ago; it’s also a good way to expand my network and work on my management skills. I’m always happy if I can help anybody with strong motivation and drive, no matter their interests and the stage of their career.

I have been a people manager for over 30 years and I have always enjoying coaching people on skills and career development. It gives me great personal satisfaction to see individuals grow in their careers, and I know from personal experience how important it can be to have mentors to guide during this journey. So for me this is also a way of giving back for what I have received from others during my career. I would like to mentor an individual who in the masters part of the program, so later in their education. I would prefer someone who has demonstrated an interest in working abroad by having international summer internships or assignments – I think I can be of particular help in educating them about what that entails.

I have a background as an electrical engineer from DTU and have a PhD in Computer Science from the US (University of Washington in Seattle). In the early 00’es, I was one of the people who started the IT University and at the same time, I started the company Configit together with another professor and three of our phd students. This is where I have worked for the last 20+ years as head of the software development group. So I have a lot of experience in what it takes to develop enterprise-grade application software as well as how to take a small startup to be a “real” international company with 200+ employees and with some of the largest companies in the world as customers.
I would like to help others achieve their potential (I know this sounds super-american !) But said otherwise, there is so many smart and energetic young people who I feel end up working in positions that do not utilize what they have learnt. Thus, I hope I can help motivate and guide a mentee to be brave and make bold choices when it comes to their education and career. Maybe even start a company some day 🙂

15+ years of experience from the contractor side in large and small companies in Denmark. Graduated from DTU in 2007.
Passionate about project development of construction projects based on early client involvement and design-build/turnkey contracts, as well as overall business operations. Has broad execution experience, especially with construction works (concrete, steel, soilworks, demolition etc.) and renovation projects in general. Has broadly developed, cost calculated and completed projects for commercial to pharma to renovations up to +600m DKK for Danish, as international customers. In addition, I work with customer relations, corporate strategy, team composition, sustainability implementation, etc.
Our industry contains lots of attractive and unique opportunities for development and challenges, which I believe we have a responsibility to share with the industry’s potential talents. For many, the engineering education in construction is similar to subsequent work with consulting engineers.
I have learned that many skills are only learned when you start your first job, which is hopefully based on the platform you have gained through your education. And here I have a wish that there should be shorter from education to job – also for the contractor companies.
Just as engineering calculations (building design / statics, heat loss, fire, ventilation etc.) require special engineering skills, working with contractor project development, -pricing, -solving and -execution of projects also require special engineering skills – not just technically, but also humanly etc. This in line with the needs of the ongoing development of the industry’s forms of cooperation in construction, which require much more than hammers, rubber boots and large excavators. The contractor role requires, among other things, that young people can be creative, communicate, collaborate across disciplines and run high-quality projects under very dynamic conditions. With my experience, I want to support ambitious candidates and be an eye opener for, among other things, the attractive forms of collaboration and design-build roles I see construction companies will depend on in the future.
I have previously been a mentor internally at Hoffmann through our basecamp development process via our Norwegian owner Veidekke. This has been of great experience and benefit to both mentors and mentees.
I prefer to help a mentee living in Denmark who sees him-/herself in an ambitious role as project manager on construction projects in the future – perhaps the ambitions are higher on the long-term – time will tell. Internal communication will be in Danish.

As an engineer in Biotechnology and with a PhD in Industrial Biotechnology, I have a problem-solving mind-set and a strong passion for applied science that can contribute to a biobased economy. The main question for me in my PhD project was the use of enzyme technology to process plant biomass for high-value applications in a biorefinery. After graduating, I spent three years as a Postdoc in the group of interfacial enzymology at the Technical University of Denmark. My main focus was kinetic description and substrate interaction of plastic degrading enzymes. I am currently working as a scientist at Novozymes, oils and fats application research, developing enzyme solutions for a greener production of oleochemicals.
In my current role I develop as a project leader and the team work is something I really enjoy. I thrive when I am networking, collaborating and am part of a bigger context. Maybe that is not the picture of a typical scientist? But I want to show that you can be extrovert and outgoing and still have a strong scientific interest.
Except applied science and working towards a sustainable society, I burn for psychological well-being, work-life balance, equality and feminism.
In my spare time I enjoy hiking, cross-country skiing and I sing in a choir. 🙂
I would love to develop my leadership and coaching skills and also to be there for a student, so he/she can ask all the “stupid” questions.
I am happy to share my journey from academia to industry and also want to motivate young people to believe in themselves and see their value.

Jesper has 25 years of experience with technical service, B2B sales, and management first from a large company in Halder Topsøe, one of the global leaders within catalysis and process technology and now in a small start-up company SaltPower with an innovative technology for producing renewable energy. In the previous 9 years of his career, his work has been focused on business development and functional leadership, and fast and efficient evaluation of business opportunities is a key part of his job. Jesper, therefore, knows how it is to be at different levels of a company for many years, starting out in a technical role and moving into more generalist leadership roles in an international, large company. Recently, he switched to a new company, SaltPower, where the decision making process is much simpler and the tasks are more diverse. Being in a small company brings different challenges into the daily work.
What Jesper particularly enjoys in leadership is to help others find the right path. He hopes to engage in this program and improve his own skills along the way. Jesper wants to become a mentor because he hopes to help a student to see the big picture of his/her career and especially students with interest in the commercial/business part of working.

I graduated from DTU 2 years ago, and am now an ML engineer working on identifying oral health diseases for a danish company. At my job, I mostly work with state-of-the-art Deep Learning models which process 3D data structures. Alongside AI development, I also contribute to the creation and maintenance of internal algorithms, libraries and tools which support different workflows under the Diagnostic stream of the company.
My job involves collaborating with people from many different backgrounds such as dentists, managers, data annotators and other developers. Due to the constant contact with different people and the context switching that it involves, I am one of the coordinators for the work around he problems that I am working on, rather than just a technical executor. Though I am mostly focused on delivering high quality and reliable solutions to our end users, I often step out of the traditional developer role. For example, I am very vocal about the inefficiencies I encounter as well as about future projects and long term goals of my team. Thus, I have become actively engaged in helping to set direction for the team I am a part of by ensuring that we work as efficiently and collaboratively as possible. I do this by being part of things such as hiring, the way we do knowledge sharing and task prioritization,
I am interested in getting to know motivated people. Outside of developing my personal leadership skills, I am genuinely interested in helping someone throughout their educational journey by offering guidance from the perspective of someone who likely has recently shared many of their concerns and insecurities about their future.
I think this process will be beneficial for both parts involved as students will have access to guidance from someone working on a highly interesting, competitive emerging market while, by counseling the students, I will be forced to reflect on my own situation and the greater context I am a part of in order to answer their questions.

I am a medical device specialist with broad experience in electronics, electroacoustics, signal processing, signal analysis and physics. I hold several patents within the field of hearing aids.
I have always worked in R&D. First as a Development Engineer, and since both as a Team Leader, a Project Manager, and a System Architect. This has given me a good background, both in the mere interaction with many different people in an organization, and more specifically in MDD and FDA requirements for medical devices, development processes and an awareness of the needs of other teams and disciplines involved.
My main force is the holistic focus and the cross functional overview, where the interaction between different disciplines is necessary.
As a manager, I believe in trust, information sharing, and transparency as the way to get the best team spirit and performance.
I enjoy explaining technical stuff to others, whether orally or in writing. Over the years, I have authored several articles and a book chapter on hearing aid processing and have made presentations for information and education, both in the company and externally.
Over the years, I have gained a lot of experience, both technically and not least more generally, how you get around and along in a large organization. I believe, I can help new engineers with sparring and coaching in areas that are essential in a work life, but that you don’t necessarily learn about during an engineering education.
I believe that input from people outside my usual professional life can make me a better leader. This is what originally drove me to sign up as a mentor. It was in another mentor program and through my participation here, I have realized that I get much fulfillment out of helping others. In my role as a mentor, I don’t just help the mentees reflect on their situation. It very easily also leads to me reflecting on my own situation.

Maciej is a professional with experience in renewable energy project development and sustainability. He is currently a Senior Associate at Connected Infrastructure Capital, focusing on energy projects in wind and PV in Poland and Europe. He also has experience as a Manager of Renewable Energy Projects at European Energy A/S and has a Master’s degree in Sustainable Energy from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU).
I have 3,5 years of working in Renewable Energy Project Development and Construction sector. I work with large scale onshore wind and solar project acquisition and development for a small private Independent Power Producer company (IPP). To match my scope of work with a particular course at DTU which provided me with the greatest insight into the sector, I will point at “46200 Planning and development of wind farms” led by Niels-Erik Clausen.
As a student fascinated by this January course I have wondered how to become an active part in the rollout of wind and solar energy and what it took to have a direct impact on the project development and construction. The job involves a interdisciplinary approach, where not only engineering, people skills, economics but even legal basis and writing skills are equally essential. Thus, the sector I wish to showcase requires a move from being an engineering specialist into a generalist with an technical background.
To this day, I can proudly say that I have completed 42 MW of wind energy, having erected 15 turbines across Poland. Furthermore, I managed to secure 120 MW of PV for my former employer in Denmark and I would love to show this world to another interested individual.
As I have noticed, to be passionate about one’s job it is particularly helpful to work along one’s ideals and have an unquestioned feeling that one’s job has a direct positive impact. I am lucky enough to have found a sector, where all of the above could have become reality. I will be delighted to introduce someone into this field, as I would have wished while being a student myself those few years ago. I will try to cover all of the goals, failures and successes.

I enjoyed every minute of those days, especially because of the inspiration I managed to gather from all the people I encountered on my way, and because of the feedback I have received later on from a lot of those I could help and support. I feel that with my progressing career, I have even more to share nowadays and would love to know that this experience of mine can prove useful to other young engineering students. I was in doubt and fear about a lot back then, but looking back allows me to see how much I have grown in fact, so I hope that sharing my story with others could help them be less doubtful and fearful. I enjoy helping and working with all sorts of people, hence, I believe that there is honestly nothing in particular that I am looking for in a mentee apart from having a vision, hope and confidence to be able to have an impact.

I have 25+ years experience within IT from large multi-national companies and IT service providers. My career has been centered around the business and IT collaboration and value creation – mainly in positions of global responsibility for IT Strategy, Transformation, Technology Innovation and Enterprise Architecture. I have covered various areas of technical expertise as well as Leadership positions at all levels of the IT organization. I have worked out of Denmark – with teams, direct reports, partners and customers located around the globe.
I have often worked with students and graduates and have always found the the intersection of new and fresh insights and energy – and industry experience – brings great learning and inspiration for both. Having the chance to support young talents and at the same time leverage experience and insights, offers an opportunity to “give something back” in return for the many who have supported and inspired me throughout my career – while learning from the interaction and a different perspective. I prefer a mentee with ambitions to combine technology and leadership to drive change – and with a passion not only for the technology but also for the impact it has on its surroundings.

I am a chemical engineer specialized in food technology.
During my academic years, I got exposed to different working regimes and various cultures. More specifically, I studied in Greece (bachelor), Germany (internship), France (bachelor dissertation), Denmark (Master), and Belgium (Master internship). When the time to work came, I decided to start my career in the UK before moving to Belgium and ultimately return to my domicile in Greece.
From 2011 until the end of 2020, I met numerous people, had to collaborate with a great number of professionals, and got lucky to work at very organized and state-of-the-art laboratories and R&D centers.
My working experience is in Food technology, Quality, and Scaling up processes from lab scales to pilot and plant trials.
I have worked in the R&D of Mondelez for almost 3 years in the areas of Deep Discovery and Deployment where i acquired a wide span of knowledge and skills, from how to design an experiment, to how to execute your own industrial-scale trials.
At the moment, I am working as a Production manager at ION S.A.
Before moving back to Athens, I worked for 1.5 year in Belgium, in a totally different field, in project management. I was the project manager of 16 members consortium for a Horizon2020 EU-funded project.
Since it has never been easy for anyone to achieve their dreams and to become who they really want to be, I would like to support and assist the mentee with my personal experience in setting the right targets and how to reach the set goals.
I am not an expert, but I have been involved in many different projects, situations, and with many people, hence I can see things a bit objective and clear in comparison with someone who has just started his career.

Motivation
I wish to improve my ability to collaborate with individuals of different nationalities and academic or technical backgrounds. My main motivation is to share my experiences, journey of knowledge and most importantly insecurities and failures. I believe that young people should hear that feeling vulnerable and out of your comfort zone is ok and that is actually the time when one learns the most. My moto is “try, fail, reflect, develop”. I believe that my expertise would benefit mostly a mentee that is interested into perusing a researcher career (private or academic sector), but i am open to any challenges :).

I thrive with building up new business – new sales. Having more than 25 years of broad IT-, consultative sales- and management experience along with strong customer relations in the business community, I have successfully increased businesses by understanding customer needs to tailor the best solutions for them. I am used to working cross border in international companies with customers and colleagues inside as well as outside Denmark. Having a Master of Science in electronic engineering makes me understand customers’ sometimes more technical challenges.
I have been a mentor for some years for young engineers from DTU, primarily in their first jobs, facing different challenges/considerations:
– “Have I chosen the right career path?”
– “How do I get to my dream position from where I am now?”
– “My manager/colleague is difficult to understand/work with. Why is that/what to do?”
And for mentees looking for their first job:
– “How do I find the right company/the right position for me?”
– “How do I write a successful CV and application for a specific role?”
It is fulfilling for me when my many years of professional experience can be of value for younger people.

I have 3+ years of experience within the pharmaceutical industry. Before that I worked within medical devices. My career has revolved highly around patient safety by ensuring and maintaining validated high quality IT solutions used in business critical processes. I collaborate with a bunch of different professions from different countries on a day-to-day basis. I understand the importance of good stakeholder management skills and thrive in a challenging environment. Lately, I have had the opportunity to take on more project management related tasks.
I missed this possibility when I was a student at DTU. I think this mentor/mentee relationship can benefit both highly in regards to broadening the professional networks and skills.

I am an experienced leader in the IT industry and have over 20 years of successful track record from exciting and challenging leadership positions in IT. I am recognized as a hands-on leader, coach and mentor, a leader who sets a clear strategic direction and builds a learning and positive culture.
I have special competencies within:
• IT management, strategy, governance and execution with close “Stakeholder Management” and involvement
• Process implementation of Agile / SAFe, Lean and ITIL, IT Service Management
• Build delivery models using IT off-shoring, outsourcing and insourcing
• Management and execution of projects as well as management of steering groups
• Contract negotiation and conclusion as well as supplier and delivery management, both in the private and public sector.
I am currently a Transformation and Technology Director at Novo Nordisk
My mission is to learn and develop myself throughout life – I want to be relevant to people around me and the job market until the day I choose to quit. Therefore, I want to share my experiences in return for a pertinent insight into the world around me – the best place to achieve that must be from young, ambitious engineers with the world at their feet. Also, I want to help future leaders by asking questions that can help them in their careers. Leadership is to be developed and trained – no one is born as a leader; it requires choices and opt-out.
An experienced leader in the IT industry and have over 20 years of successful track record from exciting and challenging leadership positions in IT, in different large Danish companies.
My 10 year career spans through various company sizes, from large companies to very small startups, and across several verticals – consumer electronics, medical/health tech, smart cities, environmental and transportation, each with its own complexities and challenges. One common component across all these is the embedded software that defines and drives the businesses.
I love hardware and software – and everything in between. Embedded systems combine the best of both worlds, and it is a joy working right in the middle. My passion lies in developing firmware (embedded software), and I have a particular focus on design, architecture and implementation. I have also had the privilege of managing projects, which has also given me another perspective – one that requires focus on the bigger picture and the business. As such, I have learned (and continuously learning) to maintain a balance between focusing the tiniest details and the long term business objectives.
Two of my greatest passions in life is technology and teaching. I’ve been a mentor since my early twenties and I’ve only gotten better. I was assigned a mentor and buddy at my first job – something that had a profound impact on how I developed as an engineer. My mentor helped me shape the way I the see world of software; helped me build the right attitude and mindset; taught me to do things right; taught me to be constructively critical of my own ideas, as well as the ideas of others; and perhaps even learn to take responsbility for my own work and do something I can be proud of.
This is something definitely worth giving back to the young minds entering this or any other field for that matter.
I am looking for a mentee who is open to expanding their worldview; one who takes responsibility for their own growth.

Proven experience in strategic, enterprise development- and cloud transformation projects. Currently serving as Chief Technology Officer at Banking Circle – a next-generation provider of mission-critical infrastructure for cross-border payment processing, offering reduced complexity, time, and cost.
I would like to take the learning experiences that I have had both professionally and personally during my career and apply them to young professionals who could perhaps use some perspective and self-confidence in what to select and what to focus on. I can both help mentees that themselves want to become leaders, but also more tech-oriented profiles that want some perspective on how to succeed in that role.

After a couple of years working (and failing) to begin a circular economy consulting career in Spain, I moved to Tanzania to work at a local NGO with simple technologies, where we have launched a small scale plastic recycling workshop with the aim of creating a market based solution to plastic pollution and raising environmental awareness.
I have been writting grant proposals, co-founded Njobme Innovation Academy (http://nia.or.tz/) where we unleash the potential of youth to transform local challenges into opportunities and facilitating the deployment of agile practices in our organisation.
Learning and exploring in a self-taught manner about self-organising, decentralisation, open source, commons and the crypto world since I left DTU.
Since my last year at DTU I began to realise that life can be much more than what I had been told it is. I sometimes feel that I have somehow misused my time in the past: e.g. there are so many books I want to read and time seems not to be enough. I wish someone had inspired me when I was younger to explore and think beyond my immediate activities.
I am also participating in a number of initiatives mentees could participate: e.g. open source hardware design, social innovation academy, liberating structures.
I would also like to learn from the mentee: e.g. effective ways to organise myself and prioritise, sticking to goals, balancing work and “free time”

I am an expert in Bioinformatics and Data Science applications for 5+ years. I am an Alumnus of DTU since 2017 from where I graduated with MSc in Bioinformatics and Systems Biology! Since then I completed my PhD in EMBL (Germany) and worked for various companies as a Data Consultant and Research Scientist including startups (e.g. Blusense in Copenhagen, Denmark and Etcembly in Cambridge, UK) and well established biotech corporations (e.g. Evotec in Munich, Germany). Currently I am working as a Business Senior Consultant for AI and Data in Deloitte in Munich, Germany. Through my experiences and expert background I have helped companies in Europe to scale their Life Science-related business and make the most out of their produced data for either Biotech or Pharma applications.
I participated myself as a mentee in one of DTU’s mentorship programmes back in 2017 and it was a fruitful experience which literally shaped my future steps. Therefore, I would like to gladly offer my gained knowledge over the years while having been in “the shoes” of the mentees and hence understanding their needs for business, market and science knowledge. From this experience I believe that both me and the mentee will expand our profile networks while exchanging knowledge and experiences about current state-of-art developments in the relevant fields but also for me personally it would be a great chance to develop my team management and motivational skillset!

Vasilis Vasou is a Senior Management Consultant with experience in advising clients within “Energy and Renewables” on global transformations, re-organizations, PMO, and business processes. He holds an MSc in Petroleum Engineering (DTU), a BSc in Civil and Environmental Engineering (University of Cyprus), and completed an Executive Education program at the University of California, Berkeley.
Already from the early stages of my career I had great mentors that their guidance and advice helped me develop competences and navigate the complexities of working in large international companies in Denmark. Those learnings were invaluable, and I found myself wishing I had good mentors already from my studies so I can prepare myself better before even entering the workforce. I believe this mentoring program holds great potential and I’d love to be part of it and share my learnings and experiences with young students.
Throughout my career, the common thread has always been the drive to try new things and explore new possibilities while embracing the change and challenges that came along. I have worked in big international companies in engineering and project management roles and in smaller scale-ups as part of the leadership team and I have experienced the ups and downs of both worlds. Over the last period I’ve made the transition to management consulting focusing within the area of Energy and Renewables.
