In 2023, I read 87 papers and 26 non-technical books. 87 papers is slightly more than my previous record (82 papers in 2022), and I’ve never even been remotely close to reading 26 books in a year. Deciding to read more books is definitely…
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Mattias Rantalainen at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, working on machine learning and computer vision for computational pathology. My research focuses on how to build and evaluate reliable machine learning models, for applications within data-driven medicine and healthcare. It has often included regression problems, uncertainty estimation methods or energy-based models.
I received my BSc in Applied Physics and Electrical Engineering in 2016 and my MSc in Electrical Engineering in 2018, both from Linköping University. During my MSc, I also spent one year as an exchange student at Stanford University. I received my PhD in Machine Learning in 2023 from Uppsala University for the thesis Towards Accurate and Reliable Deep Regression Models. During my PhD, I was supervised by Thomas Schön and Martin Danelljan. I am originally from Trollhättan, Sweden.

I categorize, annotate and write comments for all research papers I read, and share this publicly on GitHub (430+ papers since September 2018). Feel free to reach out with any questions or suggested reading. In June 2023, I also wrote the blog post The How and Why of Reading 300 Papers in 5 Years about this.
From 2018 to 2023, I organized the SysCon machine learning reading group.
I have also started to really enjoy reading various non-technical book. Since late 2022, I have read the following books (I’m also on Goodreads):
42 books in total.
In 2023, I read 87 papers and 26 non-technical books. 87 papers is slightly more than my previous record (82 papers in 2022), and I’ve never even been remotely close to reading 26 books in a year. Deciding to read more books is definitely…
Since I started my PhD almost five years ago, I have categorized, annotated and written short comments for all research papers I read in detail. I share this publicly in a GitHub repository, and recently reached 300 read papers. To mark this milestone, I decided to share some thoughts on why I think it’s important to read a lot of papers, and how I organize my reading. I also compiled some paper statistics, along with a list of 30 papers that I found particularly interesting…
We have created a video in which we try to explain how machine learning works and how it can be used to help doctors. The explanation is tailored to grade 7-9 students, and the idea is that you only should need to know about basic linear functions (straight lines) to understand everything.
When I first got interested in deep learning a couple of years ago, I started out using TensorFlow. In early 2018 I then decided to switch to PyTorch, a decision that I’ve been very happy with ever since…
During the years of my PhD, running turned into an important part of my life, crucial in order to keep me productive and in a good mental state throughout the work days and weeks. I’m a relatively serious runner, but I run mostly just because it’s a lot of fun and a great way to explore your surroundings, and because it’s good for both my physical and mental health. My training can be followed on Strava.
From Sep 10 2020 until Dec 31 2023, I was on a run streak (running at least 2 km outside every day) of 1208 days. I’m currently on a run streak of 250+ days, since Jan 27 2024.
