This week, Mike has successfully defended his PhD. Mike’s presentation was inspiring—just as his research leading to this PhD. Mike contributed to a variety of topics, ranging from high-dimensional statistics to generative models. However, Mike’s presentation showed that all these topics still fit a general notion of bias. You can find Mike’s papers in the publications tab on our homepage.

We were really fortunate to have Mike on our team for four years. It was also a great pleasure to co-advise Mike with Asja Fischer. Asja is an amazing researcher and mentor. I am sure we will have many more collaborations to come!

Ali, Pegah, and Milena just returned from the World Congress in Probability and Statistics, where they showcased our work on mathematical machine learning and AI. They also brought a lot of inspiration and motivation back home to Hamburg.

Welcome back! We are proud that you are such great ambassadors for our team.

Today, Johannes was interviewed for the German radio station NDR 2 about the probabilities to win their sweepstakes. It’s all mathematics! If you are interested in studying this field, consider joining UHH.
