Staff profile

Kaspar Rosager Ludvigsen

Danish Lawyer, interdisciplinary work between law and technology, focus on cybersecurity, and medical devices. Generally interested in quite a lot, really love getting into the nitty gritty of technologies and the math behind things. Used to be a civil servant, did two postdocs before my PhD ended, like making cakes for my colleagues, many languages (7), too many hobbies, passion for science and law (even its methodology) at large.

Currently closed for PhD students outside of funded projects. 5 PhD students, 6 by January.
