Hanspeter Schmidli

I was born in 1963 in Lucerne in Switzerland. Before I went out to see the world I lived in the beautiful village Horw, just south of Lucerne at the border of the Lake Lucerne and at the bottom of Mount Pilate. In 1984 I started my studies of mathematics at ETH in Zürich. In 1989 I started my PhD-studies under supervision of Paul Embrechts. After a postdoctoral year in Århus (Denmark) I lectured for one year at the Department of Actuarial Mathematics and Statistics at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh. From 1995 to 2000 I was an associate professor at the Department of Theoretical Statistics and Operations Research at the University of Århus (Denmark). From 2000 to 2004 I worked as full professor at the Laboratory of Actuarial Mathematics at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences of the University of Copenhagen (Denmark). Since 2004 I am employed as Professor for Stochastics/Actuarial Mathematics at the Institute of Mathematics of the University of Cologne.
