Professor of Statistics Peter Goos (@KU_Leuven) delivered a well-attended seminar on the optimization of experimental design (#DoE) The increasing computing power and the availability of user-friendly softwares for the tailor-made design of experiments has made optimal experimental design a key tool for researchers in any field of study. Attenidng crowd represented many different disciplines of @CyUniTech Prof. Goos also provided advise on data inetrpretation of results generated from the @PrimesoftE project (Egli C. Georgiadou, Elena Myrtsi, Sofia Torrado, Anna Maria Taliadorou)
