Prof. Dr. Christian Aßmann holds the Chair of Survey Statistics and Data Analysis at the Otto-Friedrich University of Bamberg (since 2020) and serves as Head of Department 3 Research Data Center and Method Development at the Leibniz Institute for Educational Trajectories. His work bridges statistical methodology with educational and public health research.

• Education: PhD in Economics (2009, Kiel University)
• Key Affiliations: Otto-Friedrich University of Bamberg, Leibniz Institute for Educational Trajectories, DFG Priority Programme SP2431/SP1646

Research focuses on Bayesian estimation techniques for handling missing data in longitudinal studies, particularly in educational assessment and human growth analysis. His methodological innovations include factor analysis, multiple imputation, and network-based modeling. He contributes to survey methodology for large-scale educational panels and public health statistics through anthropometric studies.

Scientific contributions span Bayesian econometrics, educational transition analysis, and community-based health research. His 2024-2025 work addresses automated statistical data editing and corona effects on educational outcomes. Collaborative projects with institutions like DFG and Springer highlight his interdisciplinary impact.

• Awards: Involved in Springer BestMasters 2014 thesis evaluation
• Committee Roles: Expert committee for Good KiTa Act monitoring (2019-2024)

Students explore topics like Bayesian deep learning, economic forecasting, and missing data techniques. His methodological workshops cover data editing, factor rotation, and panel nonresponse, reflecting his commitment to training future researchers.
