David Rügamer
About
I am a Lecturer at the Chair of Statistical Learning and Data Science in the Department of Statistics at the LMU Munich. I have a Bachelor's Degree (B.Sc.) in Statistics with a minor in Computer Science, a Master's Degree (M.Sc.) in Statistics with specialization in theory and a Ph.D. (Dr.rer.nat.) in Statistics with focus on functional data analysis, gradient boosting and statistical inference. During my Ph.D. I worked for the Biostatistics Working Group at the LMU, where I did my Ph.D. from Oct 2014 to Jun 2018 under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Sonja Greven. My work was partly funded by the Emmy Noether project ‘Statistical Methods for Longitudinal Functional Data’.
After a short PostDoc stay at the same group I worked for 1 year as a Senior Data Scientist in the industry with strong focus on Data Engineering and Deep Learning research. Together with other Postdocs in our group I am currently leading the subgroups Machine Learning and Deep Learning.
You can find more information about me on my personal website.
