About
A longer version of who I am and what I'm working on.
Background
I'm interested in how agents translate information about their environment into behavior — whether the agent is a person, a group, or a population. I like moving between scales, building models that are simple enough to reason about and testable against data.
In practice, I build Bayesian cognitive models and agent-based simulations, or do applied data science: customer segmentation and churn modeling at Norlys, LLM annotation pipelines. Earlier, at RITMO in Oslo, I worked on the experimental side — motion capture, eye-tracking, and physiological recording to measure cognitive and physical effort in listeners and pianists.
I also care about design and presentation — a sensibility carried over from a decade as a music producer before academia, composing for Jok'air and Disiz, with work for ads and theatre (four gold records, one platinum).
Based in Aarhus, Denmark. Ongoing collaboration at Institut Jean Nicod (ENS/PSL, Paris).
The scenic route
I did not take the straight path. Roughly, in order:
- 1993Born. A promising start.
- 2010Started making music. Over the next decade: four gold records and one platinum — and still no idea how to integrate by parts.
- 2011Dropped out of high school, at 18. It wasn't working out.
- 2012CAP Petite Enfance — officially qualified to look after toddlers. Better preparation for debugging models that won't converge than it sounds.
- 2019Went back for the high-school diploma I'd skipped (DAEU). Turns out you're allowed to just do that.
- 2020BSc Mathematics & Computer Science, Nancy. The integration-by-parts situation improved.
- 2023MSc Cognitive Science, Aarhus — grade A on the thesis. Teenage me would not believe it.
- 2025Research Assistant, CHC Aarhus. The toddlers are Bayesian agents now.
Industry
