About Me




Have had a large interest in computers and technology since I was young. When I went to highschool I chose the Technology programme with a specialization in IT where I graduated with an A+ Certification. I later went on to study Space Engineering at Luleå Tekniska Universitet where I took an extra course in astrobiology and discovered that my love for biology was larger than that for physics. This led me to switch to the Biotechnology Engineering programme at Umeå University.

At Umeå University I had time to take extra courses in Computer Science and participate in the yearly robotic competitions arranged by the university. When the time came to chose my master I decided to study at Umeå Plant Science center where I learned the joy of working in greenhouses and the enormous complexity of plants. Also had the opportunity to work with some highly skilled bioinformaticians and found a good way of combining my interest in computer science and biology. I also started coding more and more as a hobby and begun participating in data science competitions at Kaggle and Crowdai.

Projects

League of Nations Document Classifier

Won a competition organized by EPFL to classify old documents from the League of Nations archive. Developed image preprocessors, an ensemble of deep CNN image classifiers and OCR together with NLP models to determine which language documents were written in.

Laser Scanner Backpack

As a part of a project course during my last year at Umeå Universitet, helped to build a backpack with multiple positional sensors and a laser scanner for the Swedish Agricultural University. Combined pictures from three cameras, an Inertial Navigation System and GPS to determine the position of the backpack with centimeter accuracy in densely forested areas.
