Guest Speaker

Stefan Horst Sommer, guest speaker at SMEF 2024

Stefan Horst Sommer, from the University of Copenhagen, will be the guest speaker at SMEF 2024.

His research focus is on modeling and statisttics of non-linear data with application to shape spaces, functional data analysis, and image registration. This includes foundational and algorithmic aspects of statistics on manifold valued data, and computational modeling and statistical analysis of deformations occuring in computational anatomy.

He develops, for instance, projects on stochastic modelling of shape evolution for phylogenetic analysis.
