Moin! I'm Jesper, a recovering geophysicist that ventured into machine learning. I love telling stories with data and challenging assumptions. I'm good at public speaking, writing and figuring out tough stuff and making it accessible from my experience in the field, academia and the industry.

When other children played with mud, I put it under a microscope.🔬
I discovered my love for science when I was 9 years old. I asked all my relatives and friends to bring me sand samples from vacation and analyzed them with a sieve and microscope, wondering if I could just take any sand and put it into an hourglass. Today, I hold a Bachelor's degree in Geophysics/Oceanography, a Master's degree in Geophysics, as well as a PhD in Machine Learning for Geophysics from the Technical University of Denmark (#103 QS) in collaboration with Heriot-Watt University (#301 QS) in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Iɴ ᴍʏ Bᴀᴄʜᴇʟᴏʀ, I used multi-parameter stacking for seismic interpolation.
Iɴ ᴍʏ Mᴀsᴛᴇʀ, I compared those stacks to diffraction imaging and the standard workflow.
Iɴ ᴍʏ PʜD, I accomplished a few things: I was the first to publish on transfer learning for automatic seismic interpretation. I was part of the team that first tried and published on GANs for seismic inversion. I reviewed the 70-year history of machine learning in geoscience as a book chapter in Advances in Geophysics. I adapted an MIT algorithm for 4D seismic time shift extraction that does not rely on biased ground truth data.

Tᴏᴅᴀʏ I share my love for data science and ML in my newsletter, blog, and Youtube. I teach data science and Python through Skillshare, Humble Data and speaking gigs. Oh, and I'm a full-time Machine Learning Engineer.
