Künsch, Oberwolfach 2007

Hans-Rudolf Künsch (born October 17, 1951 ) is a Swiss mathematician who deals with stochastics .

Künsch received his doctorate from Hans Föllmer at the ETH Zurich in 1980 (Real-value random fields on a grid: interpolation problems, principle of variation and statistical analysis). As a post-doctoral student, he was at the University of Tokyo as he had after his diploma (with a grant from the Japanese government). From 1983 he was assistant professor, from 1989 associate professor and from 1992 full professor at the ETH Zurich, where he headed the mathematics faculty from 2007 to 2009 and retired in 2014. With Frank Hampel he led the statistics seminar at the ETH.

He deals with spatial statistics and random fields (geostatistics, image analysis, parameter estimation of Gibbs fields, space-time models), time series analysis (long-range dependencies, bootstrap methods for dependent data, general state space models, particle and ensemble Kalman filter ), environmental modeling (climate, soils), robust statistics and selection of statistical models.

From 1998 to 2000 he was co-editor of the Annals of Statistics. From 2011 to 2014 he was President of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics . He is on the Council of the Bernoulli Society for Mathematical Statistics and Probability.

Peter Bühlmann is one of his doctoral students .
