About

I am a CS PhD student at Stanford University specializing in StatML. I am excited about Large Language Models and their ability to accurately describe medical topics. In particular, we have developed a website for researching Wearable Devices, which has parts automated by ChatGPT. Previously, I have constructed machine learning algorithms for a wide range of topics, including numerical tasks, NLP, bioinformatics, medtech.

Supervising

At my time at the Technical University of Denmark together with Jose J.A. Armenteros I have supervised graduate students and independent researchers. This has continued after I have transitioned to my PhD at Stanford. If you are interested in joining our lab please write me an email with you resume and detail your background in machine learning. Below are listed titles of the M.Sc. Thesis' and independent research projects I have co-supervised.

Community

Previously, to build a strong deep learning community in Denmark I organized events for students with machine learning researchers and interested companies. This has led to 7 events with +1.5k student participants and sponsors such as Nordea, KPMG, Novozymes, Oticon, and Novo Nordisk. Post COVID I hope to make similar efforts in the bay area.
