Olle Gällmo

I am a lecturer at the Department of Information Technology at Uppsala University, Sweden.

My duties at the departement include

Program coordination and student counselling for the Swedish bachelor program in computer science and for "Datavetenskapligt program" (DVP).
Teaching. I give an undergraduate course in Machine Learning and a project course, Project CS, for computer science students. The project course has, for example, involved making robots (fully autonomous) play football (soccer, to you Americans). Lately, we have shifted our attention to applications for mobile telephony (games and positioning, for example). I also give guest lectures in, for example, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Games Development, Data Mining and Computer Architecture.

When time permits, I do research in machine learning and natural computation, i.e. computational methods derived from nature. This field includes methods like artificial neural networks, genetic algorithms, reinforcement learning and swarm intelligence.

In my spare time I play a lot of music - mainly traditional Swedish but also mediæval and renaissance music - on various forms of bagpipes and flutes. My main instrument is the traditional Swedish bagpipes. In 2008 I was awarded the Swedish honorary title Riksspelman ("piper of the realm") for my work on this instrument. I also released a solo CD the same year. You can read more about this side of my life if you visit my music page.
