Steffen Czolbe 23 Originally from Germany, where he did his bachelor’s degree, Steffen wanted to study abroad and chose the University of Copenhagen because its master’s degree gave him the balance he was looking for between computer science and machine learning . “There’s a very active machine learning research group here,” he tells us. “The university is great, but it’s also embedded in a really beautiful city with a very high quality of life and work-life balance.” As we draw to a close, Steffen reveals that this work could have turned out very differently. “I actually didn’t set out to do this,” he declares. “The project initially had a completely different goal that didn’t work out, but this part did. It spun out of a larger project that was riddled with challenges! That changed the entire direction of the work . In the end though, it was relatively straightforward.” Best of M I D L
