Rasmus Kristoffer Pedersen
Welcome to my personal website. Here you will find my Curriculum Vitae as well as links to some of my other stuff.
I am currently employed as a PostDoc at Roskilde University, where I am part of the PandemiX research group, investigating historical pandemics and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Read more about PandemiX here.
In my Ph.D. I worked with mathematical modelling of MPNs, as part of the Cancitis Research Group.
Read more about Cancitis here here.
