Life

Stadtmüller studied at Ulm University from 1971 . After completing his degree in mathematics with a minor in physics , he remained loyal to the scientific community and received his doctorate in 1977 under Alexander Peyerimhoff on "Zeroing certain power series". He then did research in Canada for a long time before completing his habilitation in Ulm. From 2004 Stadtmüller was dean of the Ulm Faculty for Mathematics and Economics. In 2006 he was elected Vice President for Teaching for the first time as the successor to Werner Kratz . In 2009 and 2012 he was re-elected for three years.

In the context of his research and teaching activities, Stadtmüller focuses on parameter-free statistics and extreme value theory . He also publishes on the dependency structures of random variables and distributions as well as the convergence behavior and limit theorems. With regard to his teaching activities at the University of Ulm, his work is partly embedded in the financial and insurance focus, which results from the offered degree in Business Mathematics . For example, lectures on statistical methods in biometrics are held under his leadership , but he is also supervising diploma theses in financial mathematics.
