Biography

Bühlmann studied mathematics from 1985 at the ETH Zurich with Diplom in 1990 and doctorate in 1993. His thesis The Blockwise Bootstrap in Time Series and Empirical Processes was written under the supervision of Hans Rudolf Künsch and Erwin Bolthausen.[1] At the University of California, Berkeley, Bühlmann was from 1994 to 1995 a postdoctoral research fellow and from 1995 to 1997 Neyman Assistant Professor. At ETH Zurich he became a lecturer in 1997 and is a full professor from 2004 to the present. From 2013 to 2017 he chaired the Department of Mathematics.[2]

His research deals with statistics, machine learning, and computer biology (including gene and protein analysis).

In 2018 he was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Rio de Janeiro. He became in 2006 a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and in 2016 a Fellow of the American Statistical Association. He is an honorary doctor of the Catholic University of Louvain. In 2014/15 he was a Highly Cited Researcher at Thomson Reuters. From 2010 to 2012 he was a co-editor of the Annals of Statistics.

He is married and has four children. Bühlmann is a frequent mountaineer in the Alps.

gollark: As planned.
gollark: And if a simple strategy works to get money, they'll do that, and it will no longer work.
gollark: What I mean is that people really like having money, and so there are lots of professionals working on doing trading to attain money.
gollark: Oops, that was accidentally quite insulting.
gollark: If it was actually a good and financially sound idea to run that sort of simple strategy, then presumably the many smart and competent people with more money looking at markets would do that, and thus eliminate any easy strategy available to people like you.
