Kenneth Bowitz Larsen


Job description

Jeg er involvert i en rekke prosjekter der konfokalmikroskopi er sentralt for forskningen. I noen tilfeller er jeg direkte involvert i planlegging og gjennomføring av forsøk, i andre tilfeller sørger jeg for teknisk opplæring og veiledning av andre, samt databehandling.

I tillegg driver jeg metodeutvikling og utprøving av ny teknologi som kan være av interesse for brukere av kjernefasiliteten, eller som de ulike forskningsgruppene etterspør.
