Dr. HENRIK M. RØNNOW
Where are you from? Denmark.
Some personal data... your hobbies?
Outside physics, main hobbies are physical activities, particularly mountain-sport and cycling. Most memorable were probably soloing Barre des Ecrins and cycling from Sarajevo to Lausanne (raising 75kCHF for charity). These days the bike only gets out once a weekend and the mountains are mostly enjoyed as a view from the home terrace across Lac Leman.
