Dr. Ozan Evkaya (Lecturer)
Office 2257, James Clerk Maxwell Building, King's Buildings Campus
My pronouns are he/him. I am Lecturer in Statistics at the School of Mathematics, at the University of Edinburgh, and a part-time lecturer TED University. Previously, I held postdoc positions at Padova University (2021) and KU Leuven (2020), after completing my PhD at Middle East Technical University in 2018. I am very interested in using statistical modelling to help people solve real-life problems - a crucial part of that is being able to extract the key messages from datasets and communicate those to non-statisticians!
With thanks to Dr. Mine Çetinkaya-Rundel for setting up the first version of this course.
