Præsentation

Sebastian opnåede sin doktorgrad ved University of Hamborg (Tyskland), hvor han også arbejdede som ekstern lektor (2007–2010). Han fik international erfaring som gæsteforsker ved Erasmus University Rotterdam (Holland), hvor han arbejdede som postdoktor og gæstende Assistent Professor (2011–2014). Desuden er han medlem af den tværfaglige RespectResearchGroup og arbejdede som universitetslektor ved Technical University Berlin (Tyskland; 2013–2014).

I sin nuværende forskning koncentrerer han sig om steder som brands, og på styringen af disse place brands. Desuden er han interesseret i turisme og branding af destinationer, især med hensyn til krisestyring, eller i forskellene mellem stedsopfattelsen mellem turister og beboere - og spørgsmålet om såkaldt overturisme. Sebastians arbejde er blevet præsenteret på forskellige konferencer, i bogkapitler og internationale peer-reviewed top-tidsskrifter, såsom International Journal of Research in Marketing, Tourism Management og Environment and Planning A.

Vejledning

To insure an effective supervision, Sebastian is supervising a maximum of three master theses per year. He has supervised several theses at different universities (CBS, University of Hamburg and Erasmus University Rotterdam) and is currently only supervising place marketing and/or tourism topics. Due to his research background, he prefers more quantitative approaches. Furthermore, he only supervises in English.

If you want to suggest a master thesis topic, please write a short summery of your research question including an argumentation for its scientific relevance.
