Biography

Måns Thulin is a consultant, researcher, and teacher in Statistics. He started teaching Statistics with R at Uppsala University in 2007, while still an undergraduate student. Since then, he has used Statistics and R to tackle problems in diverse fields, ranging from how to identify nuclear fuel and how to improve milking robots, to wine tastings and designing music videos. His awardwinning research in Statistical Methodology is concerned with modern approaches to classical statistical methods.
