I am transitioning between studies and work, planning to complete my master's around the end of this year. I have a bachelor's in engineering physics and I am now pursuing a master's in machine learning.

I work in the field of computer vision, currently on a research project on ovarian cancer diagnosis, and with eye-tracking for a while this summer. I have previously worked with applying
computer vision for quality assurance at a lithium-ion battery manufacturer (Northvolt) and for pedestrian detection for a company developing software for (semi-)autonomous vehicles.

I enjoy travelling and anything outdoors, and I am generally quite curious and interested in a lot of things.
