About Me

Hello, and welcome! I am a Postdoctoral researcher scientist working in the Rosseland Centre for Solar Physics at Oslo University.

My general areas of interest are Bayesian statistics, Deep Learning and Solar Physics. My research focuses on understanding solar phenomena and their origin through the analysis of spectropolarimetric observations. Thanks for stopping by!
