I am a Research Engineer/Data Scientist at the Centre for Digital Humanities Uppsala where I work as an image analysis and data science expert. I am interested in investigating how research-oriented AI solutions can be adopted in real-world applications in the field of Humanities and Social Science. At CDHU, I would like to help scholars and researchers gain an understanding of AI and data-driven methods, teach relevant courses, share knowledge through creative workshops, and also support their infrastructure needs.

By training, I am a PhD in Computer Vision, and also work as an AI Scientist (now part-time) at Silo AI Stockholm, and prior to that, as a researcher/postdoc at the Center for Image Analysis at Uppsala University. I have also worked as a Computer Scientist AI/HTR at Folkrörelsearkivet for Uppsala Län on the Labour’s Memory project, which aimed at making large scale material from The Swedish Trade Union Confederation-sphere (from the 1880s until today) available and accessible.

Research Aim: Build innovative data‑driven AI solutions using expertise in Text recognition (OCR, HTR), Document Image analysis, Computer Vision, AI and Machine Learning. My background lies in both traditional image processing/computer vision methods (Hidden Markov Models, keypoint-based word spotting, etc.) and also the current state-of-the-art Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and attention-based deep learning approaches.
