Hello! I am specialised in converting text to numbers and numbers to text.
I have finished my master's programme in Social Data Science from the University of Copenhagen in the summer of 2022. My master's thesis is in the field of legal text processing. I analyse 64,000 Danish court rulings published in the journal Ugeskrift for Retvæsen in the period 1867 to 2021. I explore the evolution of the Danish legal language and I predict who is to pay the cost of a trial of a given case. You can find the entire thing here.

At the institute of Sociology I have helped assistant professors Hjalmar Bang Carlsen and Jonas Toubøl making sense of a survey focusing on solidarity and volunteering during the COVID-19 pandemic. Learn about the project here (in Danish).
February 2019 - January 2021
I have worked on several different kinds of data-driven projects in Incentive, e.g. optimising the public train and bus schedule to minimise connection time, creating a database with prices of medical products from different countries retrieved online using Python, create a dataset that is to be used for minimising travel time for Danish pilots across Denmark and so on. Furthermore, I have improved my coding skills in Python and Visual Basic for Applications.

As a student in CEPOS I have gained a broad understanding for political process, communication of political messages and improved my data analysis skills in STATA and R.
