Research Overview Research at LaMaStEx is at the interdisciplinary interface of computing, mathematics and statistics. We use computer arithmetic and combinatorial data-structures through custom-built mathematical and statistical models to rigorously solve numerical optimization and simulation problems that arise in statistical decision-making from real-world data. Curriculum Vitae for a field-specific picture The full list of peer-reviewed publications Research students supervised at LaMaStEx Mathematical Statistical Software Available Student Projects Current student research projects involve a mixture of skills from mathematics, computer science, statistics, data engineering and data science. Therefore, finding a suitable project of mutual interest given the acquirable skillset requires some discussions. ...
