From curiosity to Denmark
Here are some of the researchers who followed that curiosity and made the move to Denmark.
Meet researchers building a career (and life) in Denmark
It all starts with a question, a decision and the curiosity to explore something new.
In Denmark, researchers from around the world are building their careers within strong, collaborative academic environments. From early-stage discoveries to established research fields, they are part of a community shaped by trust, knowledge-sharing, and the freedom to focus on what matters.
Discover their stories and see how research—and life—can take shape in Denmark.
From fundamental science to real-world impact
Antonia’s journey into research began in Berlin, where she completed her PhD at the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society. Her work focused on using renewable electricity to convert CO₂ into fuels and chemicals.
What motivates her is understanding how reactions happen at the smallest scale. The point where molecules meet and new bonds are formed. Because that is where more efficient and sustainable processes can be designed.
She later continued her research at MIT, focusing on electrochemical ammonia synthesis, a process central to fertiliser production and global food systems.
Across both experiences, her direction became clear. She wanted to connect fundamental insights with practical applications that can be scaled and used in the real world.
Her work has already been recognised with several competitive grants, including the Villum Young Investigator Grant, supporting her in building her own research group.
DTU
“At DTU, there is a strong culture of collaboration.
You work across disciplines, and there is a close connection to industry.”

Building a future in Denmark
At DTU, Antonia focuses on sustainable electrosynthesis. Her goal is to develop new ways of producing essential chemicals using renewable energy instead of fossil resources.
At the same time, she is building her own research group and shaping an environment where curiosity and collaboration go hand in hand.
For her, Denmark offers more than a place to work. It offers a setting where research connects closely to real-world challenges.
And that is exactly what she was looking for.
