Courses and events
Topics for MSc/PhD theses
Welcome to contact us to discuss research/study positions.
We supervise study assignments (BSc/MSc/PhD) on applied statistics / computational science / machine learning / AI theory, methods, and their application to study complex natural and social systems. Active research projects cover scientific data analysis, statistical and probabilistic programming workflows, data visualization, microbial metagenomics, ecological and evolutionary models, multi-omic data integration, spatio-temporal models, computational history, and open government data analysis.
