About

I am professor of machine learning for the life sciences at the Section for Cognitive Systems, DTU Compute. My field of research is machine learning and data science where I research methods for unsupervised learning and pattern recognition in particular with focus on multi-way/tensor decomposition approaches, statistical complex network modeling approaches and Bayesian inference with applications to life-science data.
