Education and career
[edit]Arge earned his Ph.D. in 1996 from Aarhus University, under the supervision of Erik Meineche Schmidt.[4] He next did a postdoc at Duke University until 1998. He then became a professor at Duke University before returning to Aarhus as a professor in 2004. He continued to hold an adjunct professorship at Duke.[5]
