Kübra Altinel

Position: Machine Learning Engineer
Categories: Mentors 2026/2027
Location: Archon Tech, Region Hovedstaden

Background

I hold a PhD and postdoc in computational biology and probabilistic ML from the University of Copenhagen, where I developed a Bayesian deep learning model now tied to a pending EU patent. I currently work as an ML engineer at Archon Tech, building production AI in finance. My expertise spans probabilistic modelling, LLM evaluation, and compliance-aligned AI under EU AI Act and GDPR. I mentor at High5Girls and the Danish Data Science Academy, and was recently recognized as one of Denmark’s 100 Women in AI and recipient of the IDA Agnes & Betzy Award for DEI in STEM.

Motivation

I want to join the DDSA Mentoring Programme again, because the path into a technical career is rarely as clear as it looks from the outside. My own route across computational biology, machine learning, and industry taught me how much difference honest conversations with experienced people can make. Having worked across nine countries and four continents, I have learned to listen across different cultural contexts and tailor my support to where someone actually is. I was previously a mentor at DDSA and I want to bring that commitment back into the community.
