About
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Copenhagen & Pioneer Centre for Artificial Intelligence in Copenhagen, Denmark. My current research focus is on post-training in low-resource scenarios.
Previously, I did a Postdoc at Aalborg University, where I worked on NLP and Education. I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science at the IT University of Copenhagen, defending my thesis, "Computational Job Market Analysis with Natural Language Processing", in March 2024.
My research interests include Large Language Models, Computational Job Market Analysis, and NLP for Education. If you are interested in working together feel free to reach out to me.
