Chair of Statistics

The Statistical Chair at EPFL focuses on statistical theory and methods, with a current emphasis on statistics of extremes applied to environmental issues. They also work on computational inference tools like the bootstrap and likelihood-based inference, and analyze genomic data. Collaborations with other research groups and industry are common, particularly in the environmental sciences, biology, and human health. The chair offers courses on probability and statistics at all academic levels, and supervises various projects in their areas of interest.
