Negera Wakgari Deresa
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Methods for Big Data group (https://kleinlab-statml.github.io/) at KIT, Germany. Before moving to KIT, I completed my PhD in Statistics at KU Leuven, where I also completed two years of postdoctoral training.
In addition, I had the privilege of collaborating with pharmaceutical companies and various industries during my time as a statistical consultant at the Data Science Institute (DSI), Hasselt University. I thrive on leveraging data to drive informed decisions and create impactful solutions.
