We're excited to share that Peter Knaus, a recent PhD graduate from the Institute for Statistics and Mathematics, has been granted the prestigious Erwin Schrödinger Fellowship by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF). This fellowship will support Peter's one-year visit to the Department of Statistics at Harvard University as a visiting scholar.

During his time at Harvard, Peter will focus on researching how shrinkage can be applied in high-dimensional Gaussian process regression. The aim is to develop flexible models that maintain  a high degree of interpretability, while simultaneously allowing for the fully Bayesian estimation of such models when faced with large volumes of data.

Congratulations!
