Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFreja Thoresen is an AI specialist in Copenhagen with 10 years of experience applying machine learning and software engineering to scientific and commercial problems. With a PhD in nuclear physics and a background in large-scale ALICE experiment data analysis at CERN, she brings deep expertise in big-data signal processing and Fourier-based correlation analysis. Her work spans industry and research—from building insect recognition ML frameworks at FaunaPhotonics to leading ML for moon-exploration projects at ESA—now continuing at Alexandra Instituttet. She contributes to notable open-source physics tooling (commits to the ALICE AliPhysics repository) and frequently translates complex research into accessible narratives. Known for combining rigorous quantitative methods with practical engineering, she also has hands-on experience in security testing, simulation, and teaching. Colleagues value her ability to bridge academic insight and production-ready software.
