I studied sports medicine and maths in Frankfurt am Main (Germany) and received my PhD in 2013 working on nonlinear time series analysis. In July 2013 I successfully applied for a position at the Department of Medical Biometry in Heidelberg. As biostatistician I am involved in clinical trials. Additionally, I am responsible for our Master’s programme Medical Biometry/ Biostatistics and set up our certificate programme Medical Data Science in 2018/19.
