Biographical Details
Christian is a senior lecturer in Statistics at UCL since 2005. He studied Mathematics
in Hamburg and Statistics in Dortmund. He got his Dr. rer. nat. (PhD)
at the University of Hamburg in 1997 for a thesis on clusterwise linear
regression and a habilitation in 2005 on cluster validation and the principle
of asymmetry in cluster analysis. After having obtained his PhD, he worked
as research assistant and lecturer at the University of Hamburg and ETH
Zuerich. He acted as a statistical advisor for more than 100 clients.
Research Interests
Cluster analysis, robust statistics, multivariate data analysis and data
visualisation, philosophy of probability, statistics and data analysis.
