I am a Research/Software Engineer at CERN, where I develop production distributed learning solutions and contribute to research about building reliable machine learning systems, balancing tradeoffs of performance, privacy, robustness and interpretability.

I completed my undergraduate in Engineering Physics at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. For my Bachelor’s thesis, I worked on cell image classification with convolutional neural networks at KTH and Karolinska Institutet, supervised by Prof. Karl Meinke (link to thesis, mirror on this website).

I obtained a Master’s degree in Machine Learning at KTH with an exchange at EPFL. For my Master’s thesis I studied self-supervised pre-training of attention-based models for 3D medical image segmentation at RaySearch Laboratories, supervised by Dr. Jonas Söderberg and Prof. Mårten Björkman (link to thesis).

During my studies I interned at CERN, Tobii and Ericsson.

I am motivated by both theoretical understanding and practical applications of machine learning.
