About

Research with memory, uncertainty and structure.

I develop data science methods for systems that are irregular, history-dependent or high-dimensional, with applications in industry, public-facing advice and decision-making under uncertainty.

My research sits at the intersection of signature methods in data science, stochastic analysis, applied stochastic modelling and trustworthy AI. A common thread is the search for precise mathematical representations of complex dynamics, especially when memory, uncertainty and irregularity are central rather than peripheral.

I am Professor of Data Science at BI Norwegian Business School and Adjunct Chief Research Scientist at Simula Research Laboratory. This work connects naturally with data science, operations research and trustworthy AI: designing methods and advice that are not only powerful, but interpretable, reliable and useful for real decision environments.

The ambition is simple: make complex systems more understandable, more useful and more responsible.

Research

Current research interests

Four themes currently shape my research, ranging from mathematical foundations to industry-facing modelling and AI decision support.

01

Signature methods in Data Science

Feature representations for paths, images and time series, with an emphasis on memory, structure and interpretable learning.

02

Stochastic Analysis

Pathwise methods, stochastic differential equations, regularization by noise and Volterra-type systems.

03

Applied Stochastic modelling with applications in Industry

Stochastic models for industry-facing problems where uncertainty, dynamics and operational decisions need to be handled together.

04

Trustworthy AI and Decisions

Reliable data-driven tools and thoughtful AI advice for decisions under uncertainty, developed with AMOR, SURE-AI and collaborators.

Software for Volterra signatures

The tensordev repository by Paul Hager, Luca Pelizzari and collaborators provides efficient computation of Volterra signatures and related objects from recent preprints.
