- Soil aggregation processes and microbiome interactions
- Plant-microbe relationships for crop resilience (particularly wheat)
- Environmental DNA applications in biodiversity assessment
Recent publications (2025) demonstrate strong focus on:
- Fungal community dynamics across ecosystems
- Microbiome applications in agriculture
- Soil biodiversity and nutrient cycling processes
He leads multiple grants including Novo Nordisk Foundation projects (AGGREGATE: DKK 3M; MATRIX: DKK 3.1M share) and a DFF-funded study on forest fungal traits (DKK 2.39M). Supervises PhD/master's students and organizes advanced courses in microbial analysis.
Active in international networks including 4EU+ Environmental Transitions flagship, Mycology Denmark, and TRIAD land-use initiative. Collaborates with DTU, NIOO (Netherlands), and North Carolina State University.
