Looking at the weather outside here in Denmark, I think I can surely say that the last summer as student is oficially over (at least in forseeable future). As good as it has been, despite one of the rainiest summers in Denmarks history), the project work is still there.

We will be back in uni this week, and will see all our course mates, most of whom are also on their finish line with masters program and have been working on thesis throughout the summer. Hopefully the team…

I have been quite lucky to be able to continue on the work that me and my group did the previous semester - the topic of sustainable desalination and the ways to best integrate it in country's energy infrastructure. I suspect there will be a lot of interesting things to dig deeper into, so I am actually looking forward to the…
