Bjarne Wernicke-Olesen

Bjarne Wernicke-Olesen (born February 4, 1977) is a Research Lecturer (Associate Professor) at the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies[1] and a tutor in Hinduism, Buddhism and Sanskrit at the Faculty of Theology and Religion at Oxford University.[2] His research interests are: Religion, Hinduism, Indic languages (especially Sanskrit, Vedic and Pali); Śāktism and tantric traditions; ascetic reformism (6th to 2nd century BCE); the Middle Ages in India and Nepal; Yoga and asceticism; Myths and rituals; the history of ideas in South Asia; religious historiography. Wernicke-Olesen is the leader of the Śākta Traditions project, an international research project with a focus on Indian religious traditions of South Asia.[3]

Wernicke-Olesen is author of the Danish Sanskrit grammar and reader Gudernes Sprog: Klassisk sanskrit på dansk.[4][5][6][7] This Sanskrit grammar is the first of its type in a Scandinavian language since Niels Ludvig Westergaard's "Kortfattet Sanskrit Formlære" in 1846, and was welcomed by professor Gavin Flood as "a landmark publication in Scandinavian Indology".[8]

gollark: Use Arch Linux, the superior Linux.
gollark: Isn't the market for high-powered VPSes/servers quite saturated at this point?
gollark: Even with computers they still managed to mess the phone network up so horribly.- calls appear to use an awful voice codec- multimedia messages are overcharged massively for- caller ID spoofing is a very common thing- mobile phones have stupidly complex modem chips with excessive access to the rest of their phone, closed source firmware and probably security bugs- SIM cards are self contained devices with lots of software in *Java*?! In a sane system they would need to store something like four values.- "eSIM" things are just reprogrammable soldered SIM cards because apparently nobody thought of doing it in software?!- phone towers are routinely spoofed by law enforcement for no good reason and apparently nobody is stopping this- phone calls/texts are not end to end encrypted, which is practical *now* if not when much of the development of mobile phones and whatever was happening- there are apparently a bunch of exploits in the protocols linking phone networks, like SS7
gollark: I think if a tick takes a few seconds or something.
