Søren Møller Dath

My name is Søren, I'm 29 years and started at Geoscience on April 1st. I will mainly be involved in developing the new MRS system. Futhermore I shall probably also help Simon with many of his other projects and tasks in the electronics workshop.
My background is a degree in electronics engineering from AU Engineering, followed by a master degree in robotics from University of Southern Denmark. Since I graduated in 2014, i have worked at a small start-up company where I developed a mobile antonomus robot surveyor for control surveying of newly built highways.
I have a great passion for the interaction of electronics, mechanics and software. In my spare time i fly with drones and play around with a lot of technical things. I'm married and we have a 6-month-old girl.

The staff kitchen

CLEANING UP IN THE KITCHEN - A JOINT RESPONSIBILITY!

  • NO STAFF is employed to clean up after you in the kitchen - but, unfortunately, it seems that many of you have the impression that this is the case (photo!!)
  • Clean up after yourself! – DO NOT PUT your dirty cups, glasses, dishes etc. on the kitchen table - nor in the sink!  Put it in one of the dishwashers.
  • If a dishwasher is full of clean tableware  - EMPTY IT! – IT IS ALSO YOUR JOB!
