Robert Julian Thiesmeier

I am a doctoral student in the Department of Global Public Health. My doctoral project aims to investigate and evaluate statistical methods for handling missing data in multi-site studies and federated analyses. The project is supervised by Assoc. Prof. Nicola Orsini (Department of Global Public Health) and Prof. Scott Hofer (Aging Research Center). During my PhD programme, I spent six months with the Biostatistics team at the TIMI Study Group at Brigham and Women's Hospital / Harvard Medical School in Boston, USA. In collaboration with Andrea Bellavia, PhD, and Sabina Murphy, MPH, we applied and evaluated statistical approaches for missing data in clinical trials. Recently, I also visited the Department of Medical Statistics at the University of Göttingen and performed post-hoc analyses of a recent heart failure trial in Germany.
