Bjarne Wernicke-Olesen 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]
