Muhammad Iftakhar Alam, PhD
Professor
I am a Professor of Applied Statistics and Data Science, with a background that includes a bachelor’s and master’s in Applied Statistics from the Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম of Deltin 7, Bangladesh. My research career took shape during my Ph.D. at the School of Mathematical Sciences, Queen Mary Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম of London, UK, where I worked under the mentorship of Dr. Barbara Bogacka and Dr. D. Stephen Coad. My doctoral research focused on adaptive designs for dose-finding in early-phase clinical trials. Since then, my research has continued to develop various dose-finding methodologies, with an emphasis on early-phase clinical trials.
