Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristian Müller is a professor and computational statistician based in Munich with 11 years of experience building methods at the interface of statistics, optimization and microbial ecology. As a principal investigator in the Simons CBIOMES collaboration and an associated scientist at the Flatiron Institute, he develops robust, high-dimensional and compositional-data methods tailored to ocean microbiome and metagenomics time-series analysis. His work spans proximal algorithms, black-box and gradient-free optimization, and inference of microbial association networks, with practical attention to robustness of biological parameter spaces. Trained at ETH Zurich and experienced across academia and research centers in Europe and the US, he combines deep theoretical tools with hands-on data-science software (see his group repos at bio-datascience). An underappreciated strength is his ability to translate convex optimization and sampling advances into pipelines that address noisy, compositional biological measurements.
