Agita Solzemniece

Position: PhD Candidate
Categories: Mentors 2026/2027
Location: Technical University of Denmark

Background

Over the past years, I have developed expertise in machine learning and AI, combining industry experience with academic research. I began my career in data analytics and gradually transitioned into machine learning-focused roles, while working in startup teams as well as contributing to a variety of projects during my time in consulting. My professional interest has mainly been focused on healthcare-related projects, which ultimately led me to pursue my PhD. Now, in my current research project, I focus on applying recent technologies to improve healthcare resource planning and optimization.

Motivation

Having been a mentee in a previous DDSA mentoring program myself, I know how valuable the right support can be – my mentor was a great help in navigating my career transition at the time. Now, I simply want to give back to the community and hopefully be that person for someone going through something similar. I believe I have valuable experience to share with others facing a new professional challenge – whether that’s starting a career in Denmark, finding the right team, or shifting toward academia. I would be happy to share any tips and support for those who seek it!
