Rodrigo Labouriau

Dr. Rodrigo Labouriau is an Associate Professor at the Department of Mathematics, Aarhus University, within the Faculty of Natural Sciences. He leads the Applied Statistics Laboratory (aStatLab), focusing on statistical modeling and consultancy for natural and technological sciences, particularly biology, agriculture, and environmental sciences.

• Research Focus: Generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs), graphical models, and their multivariate/semiparametric extensions for complex data analysis.
• Teaching: Courses like 'Study Design and Analysis' for Master’s students, and PhD-level courses in R programming, generalized linear models, and mixed models.
• Consultancy: Provides free statistical support to Faculty of Natural Sciences members through ad hoc projects, thesis supervision, and daily consultations.

Research Trends: His work bridges statistical theory with applied solutions for environmental monitoring (e.g., ammonia emissions), agricultural productivity (e.g., intercropping systems), and biomedical challenges (e.g., malaria detection via DNA sensors). Projects often involve interdisciplinary collaborations in agricultural, environmental, and health sciences.

• Key Projects: NATEF (2020–2023), MAG (2019–2025), and others tackling soil mechanics, aviation de-icing, and bull fertility.
