Ulises Bercovich, PhD student
Ulises Bercovich is employed as a PhD student in the section for Statistics and Probability Theory, where he will be associated with the research group Mathematical Biology.
Ulises's PhD project is called "Methods in statistical genetics". He will work in statistics applied to biology, in particular, in applications to genetics. He will be supervised by Carsten Wiuf in an interdisciplinary project where he will work with people from biology and computer science. He aims to develop methods to obtain information on human populations based on high-dimensional data sets of genomes.
Ulises is from Buenos Aires, Argentina where he completed his licentiate degree in mathematics (a combined bachelor+master) at the Universidad de Buenos Aires. He also worked as a TA in statistics courses for two years. Ulises finished his degree with a thesis called "Classification of Functional Data" where he developed a method of classification for non-differentiable data in infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces.
“Although my research interests are in applications of mathematics using statistics, I really enjoy studying pure mathematics”, says Ulises.
