I hold a PhD in Biophysics and have more than 10 years of experience working at the intersection of data science, machine learning, quantitative modelling, and biomedical imaging. My background spans academia (University of Copenhagen and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York) and biotech entrepreneurship as Co-founder and Chief AI Officer at Metsystem. I have supervised MSc and BSc students, taught image analysis and data science, and enjoy mentoring researchers navigating interdisciplinary careers spanning data science, life science, and innovation.

I would like to join the Mentoring Programme because I genuinely enjoy helping students and early-career researchers navigate their professional development. One of my former students recently encouraged me to apply, which made me reflect on how much I value mentoring. My own career has been very interdisciplinary, spanning biophysics, machine learning, data science, cancer biology, academia, and biotech entrepreneurship. I hope to help mentees identify their strengths, communicate the value, and navigate careers that do not fit neatly within traditional disciplinary boundaries.
