Chair of Mathematical Statistics (SMAT)

Welcome to the Chair of Mathematical Statistics held by Victor Panaretos.
Open positions: Postdoctoral and PhD positions available in the Chair of Mathematical Statistics.Broadly speaking, the research activity of the Chair of Mathematical Statistics focuses on probability modeling and statistical inference for functional and geometrical data and associated statistical inverse problems in the natural sciences. Particular emphasis is given on problems arising in biophysics, mathematical biology and high energy physics. Focal points include:
- Functional data analysis (second-order functional inference, frequency analysis of Hilbertian time series)
- Shape theory and stochastic geometry (projected shapes, unlabelled shape analysis, shape diffusions)
- Statistical inverse problems (random tomography, infinite-dimensional testing, density unfolding problems)
- Statistical inference for stochastic processes (partially observed branching and birth-death processes)
Our work is supported by a European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant Award, and by grants from the Swiss National Science Foundation.
