About me

  • I am a professor in AI and Health at the Department of Medicine, Solna, Division of Clinical Epidemiology [1]. Come visit me at the beautiful Eugeniahemmet!

     

  • I lead the AI@KI project [2] since 2020. Moreover, I am engaged with AI questions at MedTechLabs [3] since 2023 and an advisor on research methodology involving machine learning in Clinicum [4].

Research

  • My research is in Artificial Intelligence and how it

    - may be used for precision medicine and multimodal prediction and prevention

    - will make us think about evolving norms and values in future services and products

    - can help us humans learn over time for cross-domain applications and then save or share those learned structures

    - should take on energy-efficient forms that address the von Neumann bottleneck, such as reservoirs for neuromorphic computing

    - can help translate the output from quantum sensors into meaningful and actionable information

Teaching

  • I teach the Precision Medicine track of the course Current Trends in Health Informatics (5HI024) at LIME.

    Ph D students at KI, KTH and SU have to suffer me as their main supervisor. A list of finished Ph D theses can be found below, and under that a list of completed master (and a few bachelor) theses. Most of these students had me as supervisor or examiner at KTH, where I was a professor in Intelligent Software Services for 20 years.
