Per Sidén

Postdoc

I do research in Bayesian statistics and machine learning, developing algorithms that allow making inferences from big and complex datasets, using flexible probabilistic models.

Presentation

I am a Postdoc at the Division of Statistics and Machine Learning (STIMA) at the Department of Computer and Information Science (IDA).

My Postdoc is conducted in collaboration with Veoneer, and targeted at developing methods towards autonomous driving.

I finished my Ph.D. in Statistics at LiU in 2020, supervised by professor Mattias Villani and co-supervised by associate professor Anders Eklund. During the Ph.D. studies I did a one semester research visit at the University of Edinburgh, UK.

From 2012-2014 I worked in Stockholm at the Central bank of Sweden and If P&C Insurance. My background also contains an M.Sc. in Engineering Mathematics from Lund University in 2012.
