I work both in the Human-Centred Data Science group (Department of Digital Design, IT University of Copenhagen) and the Human-Centred Computing group (Department of Computer Science, University of Copenhagen). I am also a part of the Pioneer Centre for Artificial Intelligence. My research is supervised by Aske Mottelson and Kasper Hornbæk.
