Stefan Siegert

I'm currently a Senior Lecturer in Mathematics at the University of Exeter. I have a PhD in Physics from TU Dresden, followed by two post-docs in Statistics at Exeter.

I try to be good at being a husband, father, scholar, athlete, artist — to varying degrees of success. See my now page for what I'm up to at the moment.

I was born in Germany in 1984. I now live in Exeter/Devon (UK) with my wife and three kids.

University

My students and I work on theory and application of spatiotemporal statistical forecasting. We develop mathematical methods that help us use observation data and computer simulations to understand the past and predict the future.

I have taught undergraduate and graduate mathematics courses at University of Exeter:

• Foundations (MTH1000)
• Probability, Statistics, Data (MTH1004)
• Statistical Inference (MTH3028)
• Advanced Statistical Modelling (ECM3904)
• Applications of Machine Learning and Statistics (MTHM503)

• Advanced Statistics Training for PhD students
• Statistics and Machine Learning Training for Meteorologists
• Introduction to Machine Learning and Neural Networks
