Postdoctoral researcher
Lukas has been a Heidelberg Institute of Global Health postdoctoral researcher since April 2023. He is a public health nutritionist with more than five years of experience in doing big data analysis related to dietary patterns for predicting non-communicable diseases, particularly using the reduced rank regression method. During his master's study, he also had the experience to do laboratory work related to molecular nutrition area. His research interests include dietary behavior and kidney function, iron metabolism, and male reproductive function.
