Hi, I’m Dr. Johannes Bleher, a lecturer (Akademischer Rat) at the institute for Econonometrics and Empirical Economic Research University of Hohenheim in Stuttgart. Having managed, in recent years, the Computational Science Hub and coordinated the AI & Data Science Certificate program of the University of Hohenheim in Stuttgart, I combine experience in hands-on teaching, research and managerial tasks.

I completed my PhD in Economics and Finance in 2021 at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen where I focused on robust estimation techniques and quantile regression-based density forecasts under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Thomas Dimpfl.

In my role at the Computational Science Hub, I coordinated initiatives that integrate advanced computational methods. This included developing innovative teaching methodologies, overseeing interdisciplinary research projects, and applying machine learning techniques to complex data. Additionally, my experience as a Risk Analyst at Bausparkasse Schwäbisch Hall and as an Accredited Parliamentary Assistant at the European Parliament for Dr. Inge Gräßle has provided me with a unique perspective on the practical applications of econometric models in both the financial sector and policy-making.

Furthermore, as an independent business consultant, I have led projects focused on portfolio allocation and the setup and continuous integration and evaluation of databases. These initiatives have enabled organizations to optimize their financial strategies and enhance their data management practices through tailored, data-driven solutions.

Currently, I am spearheading projects that bridge the gap between data science and empirical economic research, aiming to enhance the quantitative skills of students and researchers alike. My passion lies in leveraging data analysis and econometric methods to solve real-world economic challenges and drive impactful research.

I am fascinated by the power of quantitative methods and their ability to uncover insights in finance and economics. I’m always eager to collaborate on projects that push the boundaries of data-driven research and to engage with others who share a passion for empirical analysis and innovative teaching.

Feel free to reach out if you’d like to discuss collaborative opportunities or share insights on data-driven economic analysis!

Flores – Chair of the Student Mobility Program and Head of the University Student Internship Programs – for her exceptional organization and support throughout the event. The welcoming spirit and the honorable reception ath the beginning of the lecture was impressive. I would also like to extend my gratitude to: Dr. Joy M. Mirasol, University President, and Dr. Marilou O. Espina, Dean of the College of Technologies, for their invaluable contributions and support in making this series possible. So many bright minds at Bukidnon State University. A really inspiring research community there. For those interested in exploring the materials from the lectures, please find them at the following links: Lecture Materials Repository Additional Lecture Materials (PDF) I look forward to future opportunities for international academic collaboration and continued knowledge sharing.
