Short cv:

1980 PhD ETH Zurich (Advisor: Hans Föllmer)
1983 - 2014 Professor at the Department of Mathematics, ETH Zurich
1998-2000 Co-editor of the Annals of Statistics
2007-2009 Chair, Department of Mathematics, ETH Zurich
August 2011 - July 2014 President-elect/President/Past President of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics

A somewhat longer cv is here.

I retired officially in summer 2014, although I hope to continue my scientific activities.
On November 12, 2014 I gave my farewell lecture (in German) with the title "Welch ein Zufall !" ("What a coincidence !"). A recording is available at the Multimedia Portal of ETH and the text is here.

From 2015 to 2021 I wrote a column entitled "Hints from Hans" for the Bulletin of the International Chinese Statistical Association (ICSA). You can access the original pieces from the ICSA Bulletin archive or in one document here.

Please note that I do not take new PhD students and I do not have opportunities for internships.

Main fields of interest:

• Spatial statistics and random fields (geostatistics, parameter estimation for Gibbs fields, image analysis, space-time models)
  
• Time series analysis (long range dependence, bootstrap methods for dependent data, general state-space models, particle and ensemble Kalman filter)
  
• Environmental modeling (soil, climate)
  
• Robust statistics and model selection.
