I am an Associate Professor in the Machine Learning Group at the Department of Physics and Technology at the University of Tromsø (UiT) – The Arctic University of Norway and am working on applications and development of deep learning algorithms. Currently, one of my main research focuses is the development of unsupervised/semi-supervised deep learning methods as well as challenges related to learning in the presence of limited labeled data. Another main research interest is to improve Convolutional Neural Networks for detection/segmentation in e.g. remote sensing and health images. Other topics of interest in this work include transfer learning, the handling of different image resolutions and multi-modality. This is a joint effort with researchers at the Norwegian Computing Center in Oslo, Norway.
