Konstantinos Pateras
Upcoming role - Ass. Professor of Applied Statistics in Behavioural Sciences
Konstantinos Pateras is a statistician working at the intersection of applied statistics, behavioural sciences and biostatistics. His work focuses on Bayesian methods, evidence synthesis, small-population studies, public and one health applications and statistical tools that support transparent decision-making under limited or complex data. He develops and applies statistical methodology across clinical, epidemiological and behavioural research, with a strong interest in reproducible workflows and collaborative research networks.
