Helena Mihaljevic

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Helena Mihaljević (also: Mihaljević-Brand; born March 5, 1982 in Sarajevo ) is a mathematician whose research interests include statistical data analysis and applied machine learning . Since mid-2018 she has held the professorship for data science and analytics at the Berlin University of Applied Sciences.

Life

Mihaljević was born in Sarajevo in 1982 and came to Germany with her parents during the Bosnian War in 1993 , where, after attending secondary school in Schloss Holte-Stukenbrock, she switched to the Niklas-Luhman-Gymnasium in Oerlinghausen and graduated from high school in 2000. She completed a degree in mathematics with the minor subjects genetics and molecular biology in Göttingen in 2006. With her doctoral supervisor Lasse Rempe at the University of Liverpool , she did her doctorate in 2009 with a thesis on the topic of topological dynamics of entire transcendent functions. After her return to Germany, she worked as a research assistant at the mathematics seminar at Kiel University until 2011 .

She focused on data science and project work from 2011 to 2014 during her work a. a. as deputy head of department at FIZ Karlsruhe - Leibniz Institute for Information Infrastructure, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science . After four years as a senior data scientist in the private sector at a big data and cloud service provider in Berlin, she was appointed professor for data science at the interdisciplinary Einstein Center Digital Future (ECDF) at the Berlin University of Applied Sciences in 2018 .

In this interdisciplinary project Gender Gap in Science of the International Council of Scientific works Mihaljević using machine learning on the understanding of the gender gaps in research and the Chairs of STEM subjects . She is a member of the Executive Committee and heads the sub-area of ​​data-driven analysis of publication patterns, i.e. examines the extent to which publication behavior as an important factor in academic careers affects the underrepresentation of women - despite the increasing number of female graduates. At her chair, which is partly financed by the Berlin Transport Authority , she plans to collaborate within and outside the ECDF, including with urban infrastructure and movement and usage data for urban transport. The German Mathematicians Association selected her and her colleague Lucía Santamaría in their blog as "Mathemakers of the months of November and December 2018".
