Location & approach

By car

The campus of the Technical University of Dortmund is located near the freeway junction Dortmund West, where the Sauerland line A45 crosses the Ruhr expressway B1/A40. The Dortmund-Eichlinghofen exit on the A45 leads to the South Campus, the Dortmund-Dorstfeld exit on the A40 leads to the North Campus. The university is signposted at both exits.

The H-Bahn

One of the landmarks of the TU Dortmund is the H-Bahn. Line 1 runs every 10 minutes between Dortmund Eichlinghofen and the Technology Center via Campus South and Dortmund University S, while Line 2 commutes every 5 minutes between Campus North and Campus South. It covers this distance in two minutes.

By plane

From Dortmund Airport, it takes just over 20 minutes to get to Dortmund Central Station by AirportExpress and from there to the university by S-Bahn. A wider range of international flight connections is offered by Düsseldorf Airport, about 60 kilometers away, which can be reached directly by S-Bahn from the university's train station.

Dr. Thilo Welz awarded Gustav Adolf Lienert Prize

06/02/2023

For his work Cluster-robust estimators for multivariate mixed-effects meta-regression, Dr. Thilo Welz, who was a research assistant at the chair "Mathematical Statistics and Industrial Applications" until March 2023, is awarded the 1st Gustav-Adolf-Lienert Prize 2023 of the International Biometric Society. The prize is the highest ranking young scientist award of the DR-IBS. Eligible applications are primarily accepted publications in international peer-reviewed journals, software packages, or comparable work in the last 2 years. Primary criterion is scientific excellence. Dr. Thilo Welz is already the third award winner after Prof. Sarah Friedrich (Augsburg) and Prof. Dennis Dobler (Amsterdam), who did his PhD under Prof. Markus Pauly.

His work provides important contributions to research synthesis, more precisely to meta-analysis. Meta-analyses allow the results of different studies to be combined and are among the most important analysis methods in biomedical applications. In this process, the results of individual studies are combined to provide the most accurate (overall) effect size estimate possible. In his paper, co-authored with Wolfgang Viechtbauer (Maastricht) and Markus Pauly and published in 2023 in the journal Computational Statistics & Data Analysis, Thilo Welz proposes new estimation methods that enable robust inference for so-called multivariate meta-analyses with different effect sizes. The work is part of a joint DFG project by Tim Friede (Göttingen) and Markus Pauly(Valid methods for meta-analyses with few studies or small numbers of cases), in which Wolfgang Viechtbauer participated as a Mercator Fellow.
