About Me

MSc in Data Science at Uppsala. Architecture degree at IUAV Venice, five years of practice before switching fields.

Interested in how data science can model systems that have a physical reality, medical and health data, acoustic spaces, complex environments. Currently working on acoustic scene classification and machine learning and signal processing. Self-taught in DSP: Max/MSP, gen~, audio modelling.

Still figuring out where these things connect.

Outside: trail running, hiking, gardening.

Projects

| 2026  Acoustic Space Classification: ML Benchmarking vs. Neural Baselines — Ongoing project applying classical machine learning to acoustic environment classification. Systematic benchmark of lightweight ML classifiers against state-of-the-art neural network systems, with the goal of establishing a computationally efficient, standardised pipeline for acoustic space recognition.
| (in progress)

| 2026  Helsinki Urban Noise Analysis: Hourly LAeq Time-Series Modelling — Comprehensive SARIMA analysis of hourly equivalent sound pressure level (LAeq) measurements from a Helsinki urban sensor. Stationarity testing (ADF/KPSS), seasonal differencing, ACF/PACF-guided model identification. Performed model diagnostics (residual analysis, Ljung-Box test) and forecasting evaluation.

| 2025  Diabetes Classifier: EDA, Benchmarking & Interactive Prediction — End-to-end ML pipeline on a clinical diabetes dataset (blood markers: HbA1c, BMI, lipid panel, renal indicators). Physiologically-motivated outlier detection, unit inconsistency discovery (VLDL mg/dL vs mmol/L), benchmark of four classifiers on balanced and imbalanced splits. Streamlit dashboard with interactive patient input, confidence scoring, and cross-model comparison.
