ARCH Fellowship

Asle Kjeka

UiB - Msc. Machine Learning & AI

Hi, I’m Asle. I recently finished my MSc in Machine Learning & AI at UiB. I love combining my early background in cloud engineering with my ML education to build solutions that deliver real value. In ARCH, getting to apply this directly to actual customer projects is helping me sharpen my practical craft fast, and the mentor support and team energy have made the pace feel both intense and fun.

Elias Ringkjøb

UiO - Msc. Informatics: Robotics & Intelligent Systems

Hi, my name is Elias and I have just finished my Msc. in Informatics: Robotics and Intelligent Systems at UiO. I am motivated by seeing AI actually enhance people’s lives rather than being treated only as a buzzword. The ARCH fellowship’s learning curve has been steep, and working on hands-on projects right out of the gate has been a great way to accelerate my career. I want to develop secure and reliable intelligent solutions that create real impact.

Mina Aldolaimi

NTNU - Msc. Cybernetics & Robotics

Hi, I’m Mina, a Cybernetics and Robotics student at NTNU. I enjoy working with complex systems and figuring out how different parts from sensors and data to software and control fit together into something that actually works in practice. Through ARCH I’ve been able to collaborate with talented people, learn from experienced mentors, and work on real technical challenges. I’m especially interested in building reliable systems and understanding problems deeply enough to turn ideas into solutions.

Tharusan Julian

UiO - Msc. In Informatics

Hi, I'm Tharusan. I recently finished my master's in Informatics at the University of Oslo, where my thesis focused on benchmarking LLMs on GPUs from NVIDIA and AMD. I've been deep into LLMs for the last three years and use them daily for everything from cooking and language learning to problem-solving. I also have a strong interest in finance and economics and wrote a valuation thesis out of pure curiosity. I love building things with others, taking small or "silly" ideas and turning them into something real that creates value. I care deeply about good UX, accessible design, and solid business logic, and at ARCH I'm focused on growing my engineering confidence through real projects, strong mentoring, and close teamwork.

Marek Engels

NTNU - Msc. Electronic Systems & Innovation

Hi, I’m Marek and I’m studying Electronic Systems Engineering at NTNU. I’m really interested in everything about how computers work, from the physics at an atomic level to the algorithms and code that we interact with every day. ARCH has a higher pace than most courses, but the mentoring and teamwork keeps it grounded and motivating. I’m here to become better at structuring solutions and collaborating well when it matters.

Afras Mansoor

NTNU - Msc. Cybernetics & Robotics

Hi, I'm Afras. My interests lie in control systems, robotics, and machine learning applied to physical systems. I prefer working close to the implementation details, where modelling choices, software structure, and hardware constraints directly affect performance. ARCH has given me exposure to fast iterations and solid technical feedback. My goal is to improve at designing complete systems that hold up beyond a prototype.

Patrick Østerby Nilsen

Kristiania College - Bsc. IT & E-Business

Hi, I’m Patrick, currently studying IT and e-business at Kristiania. My studies at Kristiania are very diverse, giving me a broad understanding of both technology and business, and helping me see how everything connects. I’m especially interested in AI and technology, and what motivates me most is making complex solutions feel simple and genuinely valuable for users—not just technically correct. ARCH has challenged me to move faster, but with the structure, mentorship, and strong team collaboration, it feels both manageable and exciting. I’m here to strengthen my end-to-end skills, explore new technologies, and build things I’m truly proud of.

William Voster

NTNU - Msc. Informatics with AI

Hi, I'm William and I've just finished my MSc. in informatics & AI at NTNU. What I find most interesting about AI is all the new problems it allows you to tackle, from experimental approaches like genetic algorithms to the more proven methods of retrieval-augmentation. I view ARCH as an experiment on just how fast I can learn when given all the mentoring and follow-up I could ever want. Being surrounded by ambitious and motivated peers doesn't hurt either.
