  • Copenhagen’S Department of Neuroscience
    I am a Biochemistry master student at the Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich and conducted my master’s thesis in the Kirkeby group at the at the University of Copenhagen’s Department of Neuroscience. I had already done a three-month internship in Edinburgh, however wanted to additionally conduct my master thesis abroad. I chose Copenhagen since my grandfather was Danish and I still had distant relatives in Copenhagen. So I had some connection to Denmark and wanted to explore that more. In addition, the University of Copenhagen has a good reputation. Therefore, I looked at research groups on the University of Copenhagen website. Upon reading a few papers of each research group, I found interesting, I wrote them an email showing my interest in their research. Some group leaders did not reply, one said that they didn’t have any vacancies, but one replied wanting to set up a skype meeting. I prepared for the skype meeting by writing down my experience including my bachelor thesis project. I talked to the group leader and my potential supervisor. They were very nice and asked about my lab experience and they told me about the project. When we ended the conversation, they said they would get back to me in two days. They agreed to have me in their lab and then I started the paperwork. Firstly, I registered my master’s thesis at the student office. This involved writing a proposal. I asked my external supervisor for some help and he gave me a few notes which enabled me to write a one-page proposal.

  • Community-Based Design for Urban Natue in Copenhagen
    Community-Based Design for Urban Nature in Copenhagen An Interactive Qualifying Project submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science by Kathleen Duffy Matthew Rothman Connor Walsh Emma Williams Date: 13 May 2021 Report Submitted to: Dr. Oleg Koefoed Growing Pathways Professors Jennifer Carlson and Blake Currier Worcester Polytechnic Institute This report represents work of WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. For more information about the projects program at WPI, see http://www.wpi.edu/Academics/Projects. i. Abstract The city of Copenhagen has emphasized a strong desire to increase the number of urban nature projects throughout the city, preventing the effects of urban sprawl. Organizations like Growing Pathways support urban nature projects utilizing community involvement throughout Copenhagen due to the various health and environmental benefits. Our goal was to develop an engaging greenspace design for Growing Pathways and the Øresundskollegiet dormitory using community input. Through interviewing experts and stakeholders, surveying dormitory residents, and conducting a design probe, we investigated effective greenspace design. Our team was able to design a 3D model of a greenspace adjacent to blocks J, K, and L of the dormitory complex, with the hopes that they can implement it in the future. i ii. Acknowledgements
