Short presentation
I am an Assistant Professor in Machine Learning and a Beijer Researcher at The Beijer Laboratory for Artificial Intelligence Research. I lead the Uppsala Vision, Language and Learning group and our research mission is to build fundamental AI/ML methods for computer vision and language modeling to address societal challenges. I am also working part-time as an AI Scientist at Combient Mix AB, Stockholm (previously at Silo AI).
