About

I am currently a postdoc in Søren Brunak's group at the Center for Protein Research, University of Copenhagen. I have a PhD from the Technical University of Denmark under the supervision of associate professor Henrik Nielsen and professor Ole Winther. I got my M.Sc. from the University of Copenhagen supervised by professor Anders Krogh. I am interested in Protein Function Prediction, Deep Learning, Multi-omics Integration and patient disease trajectories.
