I've always had a deep curiosity about nature; about how things are, and about how things work. For this reason, I studied physics (after considering biology and engineering) and later on I specialized in biophysics.
I am specially interested in so-called complex systems, where complexity emerges from the interactions among simple agents (think of the amazing behaviour of ant colonies).
My interest in complex systems soon led me to read about cognition, artificial intelligence, embodied cognition, and so on. I found a link to my biophysics studies on artificial neural network models, which resulted in my postdoc studies at the IT University of Copenhagen with Sebastian Risi.
At Copenhagen I developed my skills as a data analyst, which was my route back home, to work with the young and extremely talented team of Foqum.
My curiosity about nature also found its way into my spare time. Apart from reading, music and such, I am interested in astronomy. When I joined the university I became a member of the astronomy club, Antares, of which I was president for two years. You can learn more about this in The Astronomy Corner tab.
