External Postdoc

Industrial Postdoc in the Department of Computer Science working at ServiceNow as a part of the new Digital Research Centre Denmark (DIREC).

Research interests:
- Machine Learning
- Pattern Recognition
- Process Mining
- Symbolic/Logic-based AI
- Unifying above approaches

My overarching research interest is in AI generally, especially its application to computing/automation tools themselves. Recently, as a member of the Process Modelling and Intelligence group, my research has focused specifically on process mining, machine learning and pattern recognition for process-related data . In particular, data stemming from Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems which automate and log the execution of complex business processes.

I have taught as a guest lecturer, assistant teacher and tutor in topics ranging from data science, machine learning and mathematics; to software engineering and computer science in law. 

In my free time, I enjoy making glass art by hand as well as developing novel digital fabrication technologies for glass.
