Hello #fediverse! Thanks to my new DFF grant, I'm now looking to hire a PhD student to join me at AAU in Aalborg 🇩🇰 to work on "usable decentralization", i.e. on making distributed and federated cloud services accessible to the everyday user. For more details, see link below, and please don't hesitate to DM me with questions!

Slightly outside my normal field (but relevant - teaching Plant #IoT as part of our IoT course, and are determined to develop this further ) - aware of incompleteness/flaws of approach ...

Mit navn er Kresten, og jeg stiller op til Universitetetsbestyrelsen på Aalborg Universitet. Sammen får vi en bredere repræsentation af Design og IT på universitetet
En af mine store mærkesager er at der bør være klare retningslinjer for brug af Generativ AI på Aalborg Universitet. Det tog 2+ år at tage stilling til det, det skal gå meget hurtigere og mere grundigt
Derudover bør universitetet i højere grad arbejde sammen med studenterforeninger om at skabe et godt studiemiljø
Sammen står vi stærkest💪
Every now and then there s a line that brings a smile .. if not much more ...

Update. From Barbara Snyder, President of the Association of American Universities (#AAU), on the Trump compact:
https://www.aau.edu/newsroom/press-releases/statement-aau-president-administrations-higher-education-compact
"Federal support for higher education must never be tied to ideological alignment with any administration."

AAU President Barbara R. Snyder issued a statement regarding the administration's recently proposed higher education compact.
@arjen What's sad is that they think they'll keep their place in the #Big10 and get back into the #AAU with this cut. "We have a #biostats department at UNMC" -- well, yeah, but biostatisticians don't design ag field experiments, or specialize in data visualization (our department has 2 #datavis researchers), or teach consulting, and they probably don't have extra time to support a #datascience program.
It's very short sighted.
Five major US higher-ed associations have written an open letter to Jay Bhattacharya, director of the #NIH, asking that he "direct the reinstatement of all grants that NIH has terminated under agency directives found by a federal court to be unlawful."

The letter is signed by the:
* Association of American Medical Colleges (#AAMC)
* Association of American Universities (#AAU)
* American Council on Education (#ACE)
* Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities (#APLU)
* Council on Governmental Relations (#COGR)

If you are a researcher based in the #USA and you would like to visit any university in #Denmark you can apply for a sabbatical grant from Villum Foundation.
I would especially like to invite researchers studying power electronics, packaging and similar topics to join our group at Aalborg University. We specialise in medium-voltage and high-power converters.
