Research

In our research we deal with theoretical as well as applied topics. Here are some keywords:

  • Statistics of geometric objects
  • Applications of measure concentration inequalities in statistics, especially for compressive sensing
  • Analysis of stochastic Petri nets

In addition, we offer statistical consulting services for university staff. In teaching we cover a wide range, from basic education for mathematicians but also for computer scientists and engineers to special courses.

Statistical consulting service

Our statistical consulting services include, but are not limited to:

  • Assistance with study design and model selection
  • Support in the analysis of existing data
  • Assistance in formulating the statistical part of research proposals
  • Workshops on relevant statistical topics

No tutoring in statistics

The statistical consulting services are available for research projects at TU Ilmenau only; it does not provide tutoring for students in stochastics and statistics. Bachelor and Masters students may apply for a consultation if they are accompanied by their academic supervisor.
