DESCRIBE YOUR RESEARCH AREA AND FOCUS

- My general research area is in machine and deep learning with a focus on graph ML, especially graph neural networks. I am also interested in data-centric approaches, again with a particular interest for the graph subcase.

PROJECTS YOU ARE/WILL BE INVOLVED IN?

- I am part of the Graph ML research team led by Arikjit Khan whose work is supported by a RECRUIT grant from Novo Nordisk.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO CONTINUE YOUR CAREER AT AALBORG UNIVERSITY?

- I came across a job posting from AAU as I was looking for a graph ML research position and it was a really good match in term of the subject. I also had a good impression of the Danish research environment following my stay at DTU so I jumped at the opportunity.

FUN AND OTHER FACTS?

- My two main hobbies are video games and fencing (épée) which I will be continuing at the local club.
