Katt

Hello there!
Feeling very welcome at DSV, I have just entered the world of text annotation.
And what a wonderful world it is!

Drafted by Hercules, away from my job as a physician at the Blood Bank at Karolinska University Hospital where I was oscillating between the hospitals in Solna, Huddinge, Danderyd and SÖS, I now enjoy the more peaceful life in Kista. Here, there is time for academic discussions and afterthought. Pleasant!

I was recruited to the IT for Health-group as a domain specialist, being familiar with the language in patient health records since at least 25 years back. This coming semester I will work with Sumithra Velupillai och Maria Skeppstedt on negation and speculation detection projects.

I did my Ph.D. some 20 years ago in Medical Cellbiology at Karolinska Institutet. I always knew that I would return to the research world in one form or another, when the children grew old enough for me to focus on something else. But I had never dreamed about this nice collaboration across the sciences, a must to build meaningful tools for the health care workers.

I hope to contribute to computer science though I have not the least idea about how a computer functions.
