About

Head of the Information Systems Department and Lecturer in the Department of Economics and Management. A statistician and certified mathematics teacher, with many years of professional experience in industry as a senior biostatistician specializing in clinical trials, with experience in the medical device and pharmaceutical industries

In my professional work in the industry, I have been involved in the design and statistical analysis of clinical trials and medical research studies, as well as in managing and conducting complex projects in statistics and data science. My professional experience enables me to bridge the gap between the theoretical and mathematical foundations of statistics and its practical application to data-driven decision-making

Alongside my professional activities, I am engaged in academic teaching across a broad range of disciplines. Over the years, I have taught more than 30 different courses in statistics, data science, mathematics, and computer science. In my teaching, I strive to combine a deep theoretical understanding with practical application, hands-on work with data, and the use of professional tools commonly employed in industry and research
