Małgorzata Bogdan is a Polish statistician, a professor of the Mathematical Institute of the University of Wrocław in Poland, and a professor in the Department of Statistics of Lund University in Sweden. Her research includes work on feature selection, the lasso, regularization, and applications in genomics, statistical finance, and cosmology.

Education and career Bogdan was a student at the Wrocław University of Science and Technology. She earned a master's degree in applied mathematics in 1992 and completed her Ph.D. in mathematical statistics in 1996, under the supervision of Teresa Ledwina.

She continued at the university as an assistant professor from 1997 to 2011, and after completing a habilitation in 2009, as an associate professor from 2011 to 2016.
