Background and activities

Kerstin is an associate professor at the Department of Computer Science. Her core competence field is Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. She is currently deputy head of the Data and Artificial Intelligence group and associated with the Telenor NTNU AI Lab.
She was awarded her PhD in Computer Science from the University of Hildesheim, Germany. Her main research interest are data-driven decision support systems as well as knowledge-intensive Case-Based Reasoning.
 
Research Interest: 
The main focus of her work are methods for applied artificial intelligence. While the application domains differ, we are investigating how to make knowledge and experience available through intelligent systems. Moreover, how to build systems that support complex, knowledge-intesive decisions using heterogenous data sources. Currently, among other research activities, she is the project manager of the selfBACK EU project that develops an e-Health application for low back pain patients.
She enjoys discussing AI methodologies and applications with fellow researchers, but more importantly teaching it to students and bringing it into multidisciplinary projects and thereby shaping the new digital world.
 
In particular we are applying methods from the following research fields:
  • Subsymbolic AI
  • Case-Based Reasoning
  • Information Extraction and Knowledge Engineering
Research Group: Data and Artificial Intelligence
