Brief presentation

Frederik has a MSc degree in Psychology and PhD in Health Sciences. He is employed as Postdoc at University of Copenhagen, Rigshospitalet, and the Elsass Institute in Denmark, where he is conducting research and giving lessons in neurorehabilitation with a focus on adults with acquired brain injury and cerebral paresis. From 2018-2022, Frederik was employed as a clinical neuropsychologist at a community-based brain injury rehabilitation center in Denmark. His primary research interests are in neurological rehabilitation, including fatigue, neuropsychological rehabilitation, treatment theory, and applied psychometrics. His PhD project concerned rehabilitation of fatigue following acquired brain injury. Since 2020, Frederik has been treasurer and board member of the Danish Neuropsychological Society.

Areas of interest

Jeg er interesseret i forholdet mellem hjerne og adfærd, tanker og følelser. Herunder hvordan sygdom og skade på hjernen og forstyrrelser i hjernens udvikling påvirker dette forhold, og hvordan funktionsniveauet kan genoptrænes, genoprettes eller udvikles og understøttes, når hjernen har taget skade eller dens funktioner er forstyrret.

Research interests

Min forskning drejer sig om neurorehabilitering, langvarige konsekvenser af hjerneskade og kognitive forstyrrelser med et særligt fokus på fatigue (træthed) som følgevirkning ved kronisk sygdom. Min forskning beskæftiger sig blandt andet med:

• Udredning, måling og kvantificering af psykiske egenskaber i relation til neurorehabilitering
• At identificere, definere og beskrive de "aktive ingredienser" i rehabiliteringsindsatser
• Evaluering af effekt i komplekse, sammensatte, tværfaglige og individuelt målrettede behandlingstiltag
