Most of these scientific advances are grounded on <strong>strong mathematical foundations <\/strong>&#8211; see for instance the variety of epidemiological\u00a0models required to understand the COVID-19 spread, or the statistical theories underpinning clinical\u00a0studies.\u00a0In his talk, Prof. Christophe Ley will provide a <strong>friendly overview on statistical modelling and data science<\/strong>, two important themes of his own research and that of his research team. He will describe modern challenges and, in particular, focus on research he wishes to undertake in the coming years.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"about-the-speaker\"\n    >\nAbout the speaker<\/h3>\n<p>Christophe Ley joined the Department of Mathematics at the University of Luxembourg in November 2021 as Associate Professor. He is an applied mathematician working in the field of statistics\/data science, with a strong taste for interdisciplinary work. Before joining the University of Luxembourg, he was Associate Professor at Ghent University in Belgium. He obtained his PhD from the Universit\u00e9 libre de Bruxelles in 2010, where he had also studied except for the first year, which he did at the University of Luxembourg during its first year of existence in 2003-2004.<\/p><p>He is\u00a0President of the <a href=\"https:\/\/luxstat.lu\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Luxembourg Statistical Society<\/a>, President of the <a href=\"http:\/\/ecas.fenstats.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">European organisation for Advanced Courses in Statistics (ECAS)<\/a>, and Leader of the international network S-TRAINING (new data science methods for sports analytics and sports medicine). Among his achievements are the Prix Marie-Jeanne Laurent-Duhamel, rewarding the best PhD thesis in Statistics over a period of 3 years among all French-speaking universities world-wide, and an Elected Membership at the International Statistical Institute.\u00a0<\/p><p>He leads the research team MIDAS which stands for <strong>M<\/strong>odelling &#8211; <strong>I<\/strong>nterdisciplinary &#8211; <strong>D<\/strong>ata (Science) &#8211; <strong>A<\/strong>pplied &#8211; <strong>S<\/strong>tatistics.
