Holger Rootzén (born 25 March 1945) is a Swedish mathematical statistician. He is Professor in Mathematical Statistics at the Department of Mathematical Sciences, Chalmers University of Technology since 1993.
Education and career[edit]
Rootzén obtained his Ph.D. in 1974 with the thesis On sequences of random variables which are mixing in the sense of Renyi.[1] He has earlier been professor at Lund University and lecturer at University of Copenhagen. Rootzén is member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.[2] He also serves as adjunct member on the Price Committee for the Alfred Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences. He has been editor-in-chief for the scientific journals Extremes, Bernoulli, and Scandinavian Journal of Statistics and has received many grants, including a 2013 grant of 50 million SEK from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg foundation.
Research[edit]
Rootzén's research areas include probabilistic limit theory, statistics of extremes, and use of mathematics and statistics in medicine, engineering, and risk assessment in economics, epidemiology,[3] and environmental science.
