Hi, I'm Nicolai!
I'm a tech-savvy language guy working on iCourts - a research centre at the University of Copenhagen dedicated to the study of international courts. There I assist the researchers doing all things data - retrieval/analysis/visualization. This is my site.

Profile


My interests lie in the intersection of language, math and coding. I do NLP - natural language processing and the main part of my academic work has revolved around data driven language analysis - particularly sentiment analysis.

I live with my wife and our three kids aged 7, 12 and 13. I've got a thing for Rubik's Cubes and kite flying, and I love to spend time in the kitchen. Cooking, that is.
