Research
Following
a previous focus on materials chemistry (research on alloy
phases, metallic glasses, superconductors and surface alloying,
resulting in 220 publications and 10 patents), current sponsored
research of Prof. Giessen's group concentrates on economic/market
analysis and forecasting, using chemometric statistical techniques
including pattern recognition (by KNN and area discriminant
analysis), correlation analysis, and decision theory.
