Dr. Rumana Rois Professor, Department of Statistics and Data Science
PROFILE
SHORT BIOGRAPHY
Dr. Rumana Rois is the Chairman of the Department of Statistics and Data Science at Jahangirnagar University and a Professor of Statistics and Data Science at JU. She has been on the faculty since 2006. She received her PhD from the Department of Mathematics at the University of Kaiserslautern in 2017, where she worked in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Jürgen Franke and Prof. Dr. Jörn Saß on nonparametric change-point analysis for high dimensional censored data.
Dr. Rois has more than 19 years of experience in building data-intensive applications and scalability issues in Biostatistics, Epidemiology, Public Health and Econometrics related fields. She has also supervised more than 40 Masters students, with current projects including developing an algorithm for detecting change-point in hazard functions, interpretability in machine learning, developing an algorithm for predicting dynamic pricing, functional mixed-model and forecasting with the damped trend model.
