Position: PhD student Aalborg University
Categories: Mentors
Location: Abroad, Region Nordjylland

Background

I am a last year PhD student at Aalborg University. I have been studying machine learning and AI both on my free time and as a part of my research. I have also supervised several student projects regarding theoretical and practical aspects of ML/DS. Seeing how theoretical constructs are translated into actual working software is something in am strongly interested in. My research focuses on finding methods to reduce dynamical models. Before, I studied theoretical mathematics and engineering. So I would be happy to discuss either the theory or engineering applications of AI.

Motivation

My main motivation is to share what I have learned with younger researchers/aspiring data scientists. I know the field can be intimidating at parts but I can ensure it is rewarding. Moreover, I had an awesome experience as a mentee during the last edition of the program. Finally, one of the best exercises is to answer questions from people that are new to the field. It is satisfying to find new ways to understand concepts and share them with others.
