Karl Matikonis

A curious scientist interested in data analytics. In my PhD, I applied bespoke analytical solutions with cutting-edge econometrics combined with machine learning to some of the most extensive UK financial datasets. In addition to that, I was assisting, advising and leading projects with an analytical focus in the Civil Service. These made me believe that theoretical models, standard econometric techniques, more recent computationally intensive machine learning approaches and easy to understand visualisations have to be applied in everyday business decision making and I want our students to succeed in that.

Business analytics, applied economics, property taxation, econometrics and machine learning.
