Arne Bathke
Professor of Statistics at the Department of Artificial Intelligence and Human Interfaces (AIHI) at PLUS. One of his main research areas is the development of non-parametric methods for analysing complex (e.g. multivariate) data. In addition, he has been involved in numerous interdisciplinary and international research projects and has extensive experience in working with partners from academia, industry and public administration.
