Research
Mikkel Brydegaard was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1980. He received M.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering 2007 (dynamic systems and measurement technology), and Ph.D. degree in Atomic Physics 2012 (biophotonics and laser remote sensing) and the Docent degree 2015 all from Lund University. Brydegaard has experience in instrumentation, optical spectroscopy, biophotonics, remote sensing, and applied mathematics. During postgraduate years, he was with Stellenbosch University, Stellenbosch, South Africa and Norsk Elektro Optikk, Norway. Work was focused on lidar monitoring of biological targets, in particular he contributed the Scheimpflug lidar method. He is currently a Principal Investigator with the Department of Physics and Department of Biology in Lund, and a Senior Researcher with Norsk Elektro Optikk. He co-founded of FaunaPhotonics, Denmark and the African Spectral Imaging Network.
