Ludwig Bothmann
About
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Chair of Statistical Learning and Data Science in the Department of Statistics at the LMU Munich. I have a Diploma Degree (Dipl. - Stat.) in Statistics and a PhD (Dr. rer. nat.) in Statistics with focus on efficient statistical analysis of video and image data. During my PhD I worked at the Chair of Applied Statistics in Social Sciences, Economics and Business at the LMU, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Göran Kauermann. Afterwards I worked for nearly three years as Data Scientist and Data Science Lead for an insurance company, implementing various data science use cases from first idea to production.
Since August 2020, I am part of this chair. My main research interests include fairML, uncertainty quantification, causal inference and application of ML in applied sciences.
