Anne Deacon Juhl
My name is Anne Deacon and I have worked in the anodizing industry for more than 25 years. My anodizing journey started when I wrote my Ph.D. thesis as a research scientist at the Technical University of Denmark about "Pulse Anodizing of Extruded and Cast Aluminum Alloys".
After finishing my Ph.D. I worked with anodizing both as an independent consultant and as a supervisor and quality manager in anodizing companies. Thus, I have great experience with different kinds of chemical and electrochemical surface treatments, such as chromating, electroplating, electroless plating - Anodizing – type I, II, and III are my favorites.
What I am most passionate about is the sustainable aspect of aluminum anodizing. I strongly believe anodizing is the most efficient and sustainable solution for anodizing aluminum. This conviction has also led to my decision to create AnodizingSchool where I seek to enhance knowledge about anodizing in the world.

Kirsten Groenborg
I’m Kirsten Groenborg and I have designed and facilitated learning processes – online and onsite – for almost 20 years. About the same time as I started teaching, I met Dr. Anne Deacon Juhl and I have worked with her ever since, first in her consulting company, AluConsult, and since the start of AnodizingSchool we have developed courses and training together.
I have a master in Architecture and Design and I have worked both as an independent consultant and as an inhouse consultant with companies within mobility, medtech, and cleantech as well as architecture and design. As a college teacher I’ve taken a diploma in education and I have developed full education programmes.
I am passionate about creating great learning experiences I’m convinced that a Better than best learning outcome is achieved when the course is tailored to the audience and the participants get to be active. I’m also passionate about AnodizingSchool, because I know what a difference Dr. Juhl’s knowledge can make when applied in her customers’ companies.
