Business Model and Healthtech Innovations Project, 2017, 2018, 2019

BMI is an interdisciplinary project in which students from different fields of studies work on cases regarding the combination of technology and healthcare. The cases are provided by companies and startups that need the problems solved. I organised the BMI-project during the years 2017, 2018 and 2019. This included making deals with partner companies, taking care of practicalities and staying in contact with a lot of stakeholders. In 2019 the university hired me an assistant.

This is one of my bigger website projects and it is maintained semi-actively, which is why I have chosen to highlight it here.

Detecting Malaria Infections from Pictures of Cells: Experiments with Fractional Max Pooling, 2019

This group project was done for the course Deep Learning. We built simple neural nets using Keras for identifying if a cell is infected with malaria, and experimented if using fractional max pooling would reach higher accuracies when comparing to traditional max pooling. We in fact did reach some pretty good results.

Keras Neural Network Implementation for Music Genre Classification, 2018

Project work done for the course Machine Learning: Basic Principles. This project aim was to implement a Keras algorithm to classify different music genres. In the end there was a large bias towards one certain genre because the training data was unbalanced. Still, I learned a ton from this project.
