Background

About Dirk Leffrang

With a PhD in Business Informatics, an analytical mindset and a passion for technology, I specialise in the intersection of data analysis, behaviour and technical implementation. During my studies and doctoral research, I focused intensively on algorithmic behaviour, data-driven decision-making and statistical modelling, including the subject of algorithm aversion — namely, why people often have less faith in superior algorithmic predictions. Today, I use this experience to combine technical analyses with practical questions. How can data models contribute to decision-making? What role does acceptance play, and how can this be made measurable? My focus is on- R, Python, SQL and Tableau- statistics- regression models- machine learning- explaining complex analyses for specialist departments. I am currently building a portfolio of technical projects, including model comparison and algorithm selection, behaviour in the digital space, and sustainability data. I enjoy exchanging ideas with people who understand data as a tool for making better decisions, whether in companies, research or society. Translated with DeepL.com (free version).
