Carolin Herrmann

Jun.-Prof. Dr. Carolin Herrmann is an Assistant Professor of Biostatistics at the Department of Mathematical Optimization, Mathematical Institute of Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf. She holds a PhD in Health Data Sciences from Charité University Medicine Berlin and has extensive experience in academic and industry settings. Previously, she led the 'Clinical Trials' research group at Charité's Institute of Biometry and Clinical Epidemiology and held an interim professorship in biostatistics. Her work bridges methodological development and practical application, focusing on clinical trial design, sample size planning, and statistical modeling.

Education: B.Sc./M.Sc. in Mathematics from Bielefeld University and University of Bergen, followed by a PhD in Health Data Sciences at Charité (2022). She also worked in Denmark's pharmaceutical industry on large clinical trials. Her research integrates statistical theory with real-world challenges, addressing topics like adaptive trial designs, time-to-event analysis, and statistical literacy in education. She emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration between statistics, mathematics, and life sciences.

Teaching and Didactics: Her work extends to improving statistical education through innovative methods, including catalogs of learning objectives and active learning strategies. She advocates for clearer communication of statistical concepts to enhance understanding in medical and health sciences curricula.

Awards: No awards explicitly mentioned in the source text. Research Group: Her team develops cutting-edge statistical methods for clinical trials, focusing on sample size optimization, adaptive designs, and model selection. They also engage in applied research for pharmaceutical industries and academic collaborations.
