Dan Bruhn

Dan Bruhn is an Associate Professor at Aalborg University's Department of Chemistry and Bioscience, within The Faculty of Engineering and Science. His research focuses on plant ecophysiology, environmental interactions of plants, climate effects on vegetation, and ecological monitoring using innovative technologies like drones. He leads projects on virtual fencing systems for cattle management, wildlife surveillance (e.g., European hares and raptors), and reed bed ecosystem dynamics.

Key research interests include leaf respiratory physiology, nocturnal plant metabolism, methane emissions from plants, and applications of drone technology in ecology. He has contributed to studies on animal behavior, habitat management, and conservation strategies. Bruhn's work integrates field experiments, mathematical modeling, and advanced instrumentation to address ecological challenges.

His projects include collaborations on thermal imaging for wildlife monitoring, rewilding initiatives, and the use of citizen science in ecological surveys. Recent studies highlight advancements in understanding plant respiration dynamics, the impact of environmental variables on metabolic processes, and technological innovations in ecological data collection.

Despite extensive publications (83+), no specific scientific awards are listed. His research outputs emphasize interdisciplinary approaches linking plant biology, animal behavior, and environmental engineering to solve ecological problems.
