Summary
Per Hansen is a Data Science Chapter Lead and Head of AI CoE with a PhD in physics and 11 years of experience translating advanced research into production-ready AI, ML, and discrete optimization solutions for shipping and logistics. He has led teams and built high-impact systems at DFDS—ranging from automated hazardous-goods planning and demand forecasting to LLM-powered RAG document extraction and company-wide fleet route optimization. Comfortable across the full lifecycle from PoC to scalable MVPs, he champions MLOps, model/data drift monitoring, and software engineering best practices to ensure long-term model reliability. His background in photonics and Bayesian modeling gives him a distinctive edge in probabilistic reasoning and complex system design, and he pairs that with hands-on expertise in AWS/Azure, Kubernetes, MLflow, STAN and FastAPI. Colleagues rely on him for technical mentorship and building reproducible workflows that align strategic goals with pragmatic engineering.
