I’m currently a Postdoc at the University of Copenhagen, working on several interdisciplinary projects in the field of geospatial data science and computational social science, with a focus on sustainable transportation and spatial inequalities. I have a background in Technical Physics, Transcultural Communication, and Environmental Science; and a PhD in Urban Data Science, completed at the IT University of Copenhagen in the NERDS group (NEtworks, Data, and Society). Before focusing on my academic career, I’ve worked in many different places (administration, consulting, tourism, education…). I’m also quite active in several NGOs and grassroots organisations, leaning very much to the left. I am also the Chair of the Danish Data Science Academy’s YAP (Young Academy Panel). My current technical focus is all things geospatial data science, in the Python universe.

I find it important to offer to others what I would have wished for my younger self: advice, support, cheering on & encouragement, or just a shoulder to (figuratively) cry on about how complicated things can get out there. I’ve participated in several mentoring programmes (both as mentee and as mentor) and I’m passionate about how powerful the outcomes can be, for both sides. I’ve learned to understand and present my rather unconventional (one might say too patchy?) curriculum as a big strength, and would like to share encouragement (and self-marketing hacks) with others who are in similar situations of still looking for the right way forward. Last but not least – I think that I can learn a lot from my mentee(s) and about their life & education situations.
