The Stochastics Group

The stochastics group at the department comprises researchers active in the fields of

  • probability, statistics, data science, optimization, and operations research.

The group is responsible for the study programs in

  • statistics, data science and mathematics-economics

and was recently extended with the Applied Statistics Laboratory, which provides statistical support and consultancy to other departments at Aarhus University.

There is a strong tradition in the group for interdisciplinary research as well as for national and international collaborations. To see the breadth of research interests consult the business cards below.
