I take pictures in my spare time.

My day job is data science at NILU, the Climate and Environmental Research Institute in Oslo, mostly machine learning for environmental monitoring. I did my PhD in Montpellier and my masters in Oran, and I have lived in Norway since 2020.

I started in 2015 and never settled on a subject. A tram, a ceiling, a bird that will not sit still, a stranger in the snow. If something makes me stop walking, I photograph it.
