Dr Philipp Otto

  • Reader in Statistics and Data Analytics (Statistics)

Biography

Philipp Otto is currently a Reader in Statistics and Data Analytics at the University of Glasgow and previously served as an Assistant Professor of Big Geospatial Data at Leibniz University Hannover, Germany (2018-2023). He was also a visiting full professor at the University of Göttingen for one year (2020-2021). Philipp earned his PhD in statistics in 2016 with distinction (summa cum laude) from the European University Viadrina, Frankfurt (Oder), Germany, in the so-called fast-track without an M.Sc. degree, a progression reserved for selected students with proven affinity and ability for research. His academic journey began with a B.Sc. in International Economics, with study visits to the State University Saint Petersburg, Russia.

Grants

I received research grants amounting to 1,038,847 euros (counting my own share only). My main/recent research projects dealt with:

- Time series analysis of historical maps,
- Statistical estimation of high-dimensional, spatial dependence structures using machine learning methods,
- Agricultural impact on air quality,
- Spatial and spatiotemporal GARCH models,
- Detection of spatiotemporal clusters.

Furthermore, I successfully collaborated on industry-funded projects, e.g., on survival analysis for building information models.
