Relevant supervisors for Space Research projects

The head of the study line has compiled the following list of researchers at DTU, who could be relevant as supervisors for special courses, synthesis projects or master's theses within the study line's focus areas. 

But there are no doubt other researchers at DTU, who could also be relevant, so look around, talk to course teachers, and see what  DTU Career Hub for students and alumni suggests in terms of projects and supervisors for ESPE students.
