I am an AI Researcher at the Bio-AI Lab, UiT The Arctic University of Norway. My Ph.D. (2025) explored Scalable Online Deep Learning for Streaming Data with Variable Feature Spaces, a problem I frame as Haphazard Inputs, where models must adapt as the number and type of available features change unpredictably over time.
Currently, I investigate hallucinations in large language models, studying when and why they fabricate facts. My broader research interests include:
- Haphazard Inputs / Varying Feature Spaces
- Scalable Online Deep Learning
- Large Language Models
- Time Series · Computer Vision · NLP
Alongside my research, I authored Cloud Computing for Everyone (BPB Online, 2025), an accessible guide from foundational cloud concepts to advanced practices, which received the Golden Wings Award 2025.
Outside the lab, I can usually be found on a volleyball court, out on a trail, or in the water. The Norwegian Arctic landscape makes for a pretty compelling reason to stay active.
