Colloquium Statistical Methods in Empirical Research
On March 18-20th 2019 together with Andrzej Jarynowski and Marcus Doherr we orginize a workshop on "Social network analysis in one health epidemiology". Travel grants are available. Supported by COST.
Austellung "Seuchen von Tier und Mensch auf Netzwerken" auf der Langen Nacht der Wissenschaften
Co-authorship network. Nodes represent researchers and edges represent shared authorships of scientific publications
In the System Modeling group, complex systems of various nature are investigated. Main focus lies on data-driven research on complex networks, stochastic processes with major application in epidemiology, human and animal mobility, behaviorial science, bioinformatics, system biology of host-pathogen interactions. Being part of the Institute for Veterinary Epidemiology and Biostatistics of the Department of Veterinary Medicine at Freie Universität Berlin, we seek to apply mathematical, statistical, computational, machine learning methods in such a highly interdisplinary field as animal science and medicine in general. We are also involved into teaching at the Department of Mathematics and Informatics as well in the "Master of Science in Statistics" program.
