Nominator's project description

Professor Steffen Lauritzen is internationally recognised for his outstanding and pioneering research on "Graphical Models". He applies his highly innovative methods to a variety of areas of these models, which describe interrelationships between a potentially large number of variables through a mathematical graph.
