Developing ML solutions for advancing clinical research and cancer care

Stockholm, Stockholm County, SE

Grew an interdisciplinary team of researchers and advised collaborations across a wide range of applications, many focused on scaling human evaluation using generative AI and human-in-the-loop machine learning. My team delivered improvements to flagship products like AI DJ, improved the cost-effectiveness and performance of generative AI tooling, and.

My research at CU focused on making sense of complex systems, primarily in social and biomedical contexts. On the social side, my more recent work was in the Science of Science domain, where I sought a greater understanding of how social processes shape both the composition of the scientific workforce and the productivity of its workers. Throughout these.

My research with Spotify analyzes the factors that shape an individual's musical tastes and how those tastes evolve over time.

At Red Cocoa, I worked with a really awesome group of engineers, developing embedded software for a TI OMAP-based, P25-compliant land mobile radio. My favorite project at the company was developing the company's first product, a PIC-based radio keyloader. I was also involved with the development of a serial framework and Cocoa application for in-house.
