I'm currently a postdoctoral researcher working on dialogue systems research who completed my PhD working on dialogue systems (dialogue management, specifically) in late 2024. Besides dialogue systems research, I specialize in NLP and information retrieval, and before my PhD I worked in industry as a data scientist implementing search and match applications. Projects I've worked on over the years encompass both classic machine learning technologies as well as more recent AI approaches using LLMs and RAG.
I'm currently looking for opportunities both in Germany and the US for after my postdoc ends this year. I'm also happy to connect with anyone for networking on LinkedIn or otherwise!
Technologies: Natural Language Processing, machine learning, Elasticsearch, Google Cloud Platform, Python, some Java and Javascript
Resume: Sent on request

I'm a computer science PhD candidate originally from the US finishing up my thesis at the end of December. I'm looking for a new, exciting position for next year where I can use my experience and tackle interesting problems. My specialization is in NLP, but I have experience with general machine learning approaches (e.g. SVMs, clustering algorithms with Scikit-learn) as well as current deep learning methods. From before my PhD program, I have 4 years of experience as a data scientist implementing practical solutions for business-critical applications.
I would prefer to remain in Norway but I am open to opportunities elsewhere, particularly the US.
Willing to relocate: Yes (Germany, Scandinavia, and US; US Citizen currently on Blue Card)
Technologies: Python (Torch, Numpy, Pandas, Transformers, scikit-learn, etc.), Ollama/LMStudio, Docker, GCP, vector databases (e.g. ChromaDB)
