About me
‍
I did my Erasmus at the University of Iceland, which eventually led to three years of doctoral studies and earning the title of PhD.
‍
Since then, I've been a research assistant at JSC - JĂĽlich Supercomputing Centre, later becoming Head of Simulation and Data Lab. Since 2024, I have been granted assistant Professorship at the University of Iceland in ReykjavĂk. I work at the intersection of Remote Sensing (RS), High Performance Computing (HPC), Quantum Computing (QC) and Machine Learning (ML).
