Region Hovedstaden, University of Copenhagen
Background
I am a mathematician and computational scientist with a PhD in Mathematics, currently working as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Copenhagen. My work combines mathematical modelling, machine learning, bioinformatics and data analysis, with applications in ancient DNA, genomics and interdisciplinary computational research.
Motivation
I would like to contribute to the Danish data science community by supporting early-career researchers and students. I know the challenges of building a research career across disciplines and cultures, and I hope to share practical experience from mathematics, machine learning and computational biology. I also value mentoring as a two-way dialogue that encourages confidence, curiosity and clearer career choices.
