Assoz. Prof. Mag. Lukas Steinberger Bakk. BA, PhD


I am Associate Professor for Statistical Machine Learning in the Department of Statistics and Operations Research at the University of Vienna and part of the research network Data Science @ Uni Vienna. Prior to that I was a post-doctoral researcher in the group of Angelika Rohde at the University of Freiburg and a temporary Full Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the Technical University of Munich.

 

My main research areas are statistical inference under differential privacy, high-dimensional data analysis and uncertainty quantification in statistical learning. Please see my CV for further information.
