About me

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Faculty of Statistics at TU Dortmund University.

My research lies at the intersection of statistical modelling and machine learning, specifically hidden Markov models (HMMs) and tree-based methods.

Working with data from various sports (e.g., soccer, American football, and handball), my goal is to develop models that help evaluate players and teams and support strategic decision-making. Beyond sports analytics, I am also interested in applications of HMMs to finance or energy data.

News

In May and June, I will be visiting Prof. Dr. Achim Zeileis at the Department of Statistics, University of Innsbruck, for a research and teaching stay.

Our FIFA World Cup 2026 forecast has now been published. We predict that Spain is the favorite, followed by France, England and Germany.

Teaching

In the summer term 2026, I will give a lecture on Hidden Markov and State Space Models. If you are a Master’s student enrolled in Statistics, Data Science, or Econometrics at TU Dortmund University, you can join the course as an elective module. I look forward to welcoming you!
