Robin Fischer
PhD Researcher, WU Vienna
I am a PhD researcher at the Institute of Data, Energy, and Sustainability (WU Vienna). I am particularly interested in how firms adapt under uncertainty and shifting market conditions. Much of my work involves analyzing high-dimensional, messy economic data, where I use Bayesian and machine learning methods to find solid ground.
