During his studies, Muhammad Javaid Akhter studied the biology and management of Vulpia myuros. Vulpia myuros is an emergent threat to arable farming in Denmark. The information on the weed biology is necessary to develop effective integrated management strategies against Vulpia myuros. Studying weed biology, Muhammad Javaid Akhter investigated…

During his PhD studies, Jakob Raffn attempted to unpack and address a key challenge of our time; namely that, ‘while societies become increasingly aware of and knowledgeable about sustainability they do not become sustainable’. In their current configurations, our Societal Operating Systems (SOS), i.e. economies, sciences, politics, technologies,…

During his PhD studies, Rasmus Emil Jensen researched insect pathogenic fungi living inside plants as endophytes. Endophytism is a term originally used to describe seemingly symptomless microorganisms living inside plants but today we know that endophytes play an important role in plant defense and growth. Rasmus Emil Jensen studied how endophytic…
