Professor Daniel Rudolf

Professor Daniel Rudolf has been Chair of Mathematical Data Science at the University of Passau since October 2021. After completing his Ph.D. in Jena, he was a research fellow in Sydney, served as an interim professor in Chemnitz, and was an assistant professor for Mathematical Statistics in Göttingen before accepting his current position in Passau. His research focuses on computational statistics, with a particular interest in the combination of applied and theoretical scientific questions, which he finds especially compelling.

„The development and theoretical evaluation of algorithms, including those for extracting information from data, is a central aspect of my research. From a mathematical point of view, it is particularly appealing that my research group works at the interface between stochastics, analysis, algebra and numerics. This constantly opens up new perspectives on existing methods, techniques and research questions. For example, my team is involved in the construction and theoretical analysis of Monte Carlo methods for the simulation of posterior distributions. These are used to quantify uncertainties and provide a crucial building block for statistical predictions in the context of machine learning.“

More on his research

Professor Rudolf is a sub-project leader in the DFG Collaborative Research Centre 1456 "Mathematics of Experiment: The challenge of indirect measurements in the natural sciences". He is involved in the development and analysis of algorithms for Bayesian inference of protein structure ensembles.
