Search among the members of the Leopoldina for experts in specific fields or research topics. After entering a name in the "Name" field, click on "Search" to go directly to a member profile. With the input and selection in the fields "City" and „Country", you can limit your search locally or regionally, or target specific sections of the Leopoldina. Alternatively or in combination a full-text search is possible for all member profiles - use the upper input field. The use of operators like AND, NOT or * is permitted in the full-text search. For example, you may search for "genetics" or "*genet*" to get results with "genetic" or "molecular genetics".

CV Sara van de Geer - deutsch (pdf)
Research
Sara van de Geer has done seminal work in the field of nonparametric and high-dimensional statistics. She was one of the early pioneers developing the applications of empirical process theory indexed by functions to statistical methods for estimating abstract parameters. She put forward the foundations for the theoretical properties of estimation procedures for problems with unknown sparsity.
Her work has strong impact on modern statistics and statistical learning theory.
