Mathias Jakobsen

Doctor of Philosophy in Computing Science

Studying for a PhD under supervisor Ornela Dardha.

Master of Science in Computer Science

Enrolled into the extra-curriculum Tech Talent programme. The thesis was about introducing a behavioural type system with protocols, to an object-oriented language.

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science

Bachelor thesis was about introducing session types to a low-level process calculus called Applied Pi-Calculus. The work was published at the workshop EXPRESS/SOS 2018 (see publications).

Co-Founder and Programmer

Worked with lots of different programming technologies such as Python, Java and Web technologies (Angular 2+ with Typescript and React). Projects included a nation-wide marketing campaign for a large Danish company, that ran for 2 years as well as a SaaS platform for route optimisation and management for logistics companies.

Teaching Assistant

I was a teaching assistant in the courses Programming Languages and Theory of Computation taught by Ornela Dardha in the spring semesters of 2021 and 2022. The first course is about the design and implementation of a compiler, and the second course is about the foundations of computing by working with the λ-calculus and the π-calculus.

Teaching Assistant

I was a teaching assistant in the course Computability and Complexity taught by Hans Hüttel in the fall semester of 2019. It is a course about the foundations of Computer Science taught to 3rd year students of Computer Science and Software Engineering.

SLext

Owner and main contributor to an open source browser extension with around 500 active users, for enhancing the functionality of the online LaTeX editor Overleaf. It has been acknowledged by the company behind the editor.

Member of FIT

F-Klubben is a voluntary organisation of the students at the House of Computer Science at Aalborg University. FIT manages the POS system, mailing lists and other IT services for F-Klubben.

Board Member and Trainer

Board Member with responsibilities of managing the technical infrastructure of the club, as well as being a trainer for the other members.

Imperative Programming

Much experience with object-oriented programming in Java and C#. Many years of experience with Python.

Declarative Programming

I have a lot of experience with SQL (MySQL), and also some experience with the functional languages Haskell and Scheme (Lisp).

LAMP Stack

I am very experienced with the LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack for web development. For the frontend I have years of experience with HTML/CSS/Javascript and Typescript, using the two popular frameworks Angular 2+ and React.
