Marius Iosifescu

Marius Iosifescu (born August 12, 1936 in Pitesti ) is a Romanian mathematician who deals with probability theory, stochastic processes and real analysis.

After graduating from high school in 1954, Iosifescu studied mathematics at the University of Bucharest with a diploma in 1959 and a doctorate in 1963 on Markov chains (chains with complete connections with any number of states, Romanian) and in 1969 he qualified as a professor. In 1961 he became an assistant professor at the Polytechnic Institute in Budapest and from 1963 he conducted research at the Institute for Mathematics and the Center for Mathematical Statistics of the Academy of Sciences in Bucharest. In 1969 he became head of the probability and statistics department and in 1976 of the mathematical statistics department. From 1990 he was director of the Center for Mathematical Statistics.

He was visiting professor in Mainz, Frankfurt, Bonn, Duisburg, Melbourne, Lille, Bordeaux and the University of Paris V.

In 1993 he became a Knight of the Order of the Palmes Académiques. He is a corresponding member of the Romanian Academy of Sciences and a member of the International Statistical Institute.

He was Associate Editor of Probability Theory and Related Fields ( 1972-1989 ), Biostatistica (1989-1998), and Stochastic Processes and their Applications (1989-1993).
