CHRISTOPH URACH studied Technical Mathematics at the Vienna University of Technology and specialised on Mathematical Modelling and Simulation in the field of HTA (Health Technology Assessment). He currently works at dwh simulation services in the department of health economics where he is developing applicable model structures for evaluation of health care interventions [1][2]. Another research topic is the current use of statistical models identification of research questions where simulations models provide benefits over classic approaches [3]. He also evaluates parameterization methods leading from classical statistics to more sophisticated approaches which address causal relationships between the independent variables and their integration in microsimulation models.
