معرفی
David Preinerstorfer is a Professor of Statistics and Econometrics at the Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU) and Director of the Swiss Institute for Empirical Economic Research (SEW-HSG) at the University of St.Gallen. His research focuses on the statistical foundations of algorithmic decision making, particularly in dynamic economic systems and uncertain environments.
- Director, SEW-HSG (2024–2025)
- Associate Professor, University of St.Gallen (2021–2024)
- Assistant Professor, Université libre de Bruxelles (2017–2021)
- PhD in Statistics and Operations Research, University of Vienna (2011–2015)
His work integrates reinforcement learning, optimal control, stochastic programming, and optimization to develop robust and scalable algorithmic solutions. Key research areas include high-dimensional inference, moment-based methods, and optimal policy learning with distributional targets.
Recent publications focus on moment-dependent phase transitions, power enhancements for testing moment equalities, and regularization in policy learning. He has contributed to journals like Econometrica and Econometric Theory.
