Daniel has been finds manager on site, supervisor of the Danish sub-team in 2013, and research assistant. He was born in Horsens, Denmark, and undertook his academic studies at the University of Aarhus. He finished his Masters degree in January 2014. During his Masters studies he participated in the Humboldt-Ostia-Forumproject (HOF) 2011-2014, where he was an intern in the autumn of 2012. He continues to work for the Ostia-Forum-Project (OFP), where he in the years 2017-2024 undertook his doctoral studies and was working on an everyday basis with the Ostian Forum and the project’s logistics. His hitherto most significant contribution to the project is the definition of several hitherto unkown Republican phases of the Forum and the establishment of a typology of Ostian marble roof tiles found in the late antique pavement.
In 2019, he was part of the establishment of the Ostia Graduiertenkolleg in which he and five others were giving the opportunity to dedicate themselves fulltime to a PhD.
December 1 2024, he commenced a postdoc titled “The Forum of Ostia. The political and religous centre, 27 BCE-117 CE“. The postdoc is funded by an Internationalisation Fellowship from the Carlsberg Foundation and has a duration of one year.
