Alexander Rolle
Short biography
Starting in Oct. 2021 I am a TUM Global Postdoc Fellow at
The Technical University of Munich
working with
Ulrich Bauer.
From Sep. 2019 to Sep. 2021 I was a postdoc with
Michael Kerber
at TU Graz, Austria.
In August 2019 I finished a PhD in Mathematics at
The University of Western Ontario, supervised by
Rick Jardine.
Research interests
My main research interests are in applied and computational topology, especially applications to statistics and data analysis.
