About
Welcome! My name is Dennis Oliver Kubitza, born in October 1993. I am currently a PhD Candidate in Regional Economics and Labor Market Statistics at Maastricht University, while working at the Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training (BIBB) in Bonn, Germany. My research focuses on the statistical and causal analysis of mobility, regional, and survey data within the Junior Research Group "RISA".
Previously, I worked at Fraunhofer IAIS on projects like the Mobility Data Space and LIMBO. I was involved in project management, proposal development, software engineering (Java, React), and decentralized data architectures (Gaia-X, IDS).
Additionally, I gained experience in knowledge graph development, behavioral economics research, and statistical programming (R, LaTeX) through roles at Fraunhofer IAIS, briq Institute, and the University of Bonn.
Key Interests
- Non-parametric Statistics and Stochastic Modeling
- Regional and Labor Market Analysis
- Large Data Integration and Decentralized Architectures
- Behavioral Economics and Social Studies
I completed Fraunhofer's "Data Scientist for Big Data Infrastructures" training in 2019 and became a Certified Data Scientist Specialized in Trustworthy AI in 2020. I continue developing my skills through ongoing technical and leadership training.
Personal Interests
- Sailing and fostering teamwork
- Climbing and bouldering for mental focus
- Strategic board games and collaborative thinking

Courses
A 3-5 day R-course.
The course was originally held at the Department of Economics, University of Bonn, as an extracuriclur programming course. It was created by Matthias Duch and myself between 2016-2018. The course material is currently available on Dropbox and will be published on GitHub in the future.
A 3 day LaTeX beginners course.
The course was originally held at the Department of Economics, University of Bonn, as an extracuriclur programming course. The material was created by Max Kirchner for the Department of Mathematics and reworked heavily by Matthias Duch and myself between 2015-2019. The course material is available on GitHub.
3 Lectures for z-Tree with Hands on
The course was originally held at briq Institute for Ph.D. and regular Students at the University of Bonn as a knowledge transfer event, after I attendet a course with Urs Fischbacher the creator of z-Tree.
