Anirudh Tomer

I enjoy conducting scientific work, visiting mountains, cooking, landscape photography, and solving problems. I am currently doing statistics/machine learning in the field of medical science and biology for a living.

Research & Publications

I graduated with a PhD in Biostatistics in 2020 and then moved to the industry. Hence, I am not as actively writing research articles. Nevertheless, here are the articles I contributed in the area of Biostatistics. These articles also comprise my PhD thesis available on GitHub. The thesis is also available via the thesis repository of Erasmus University Rotterdam.

PhD Defense

My PhD defense dated September 16, 2020 is available on YouTube. It happened during the Coronavirus pandemic and hence it was conducted online.
