News

I moved to the University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands, where I work at the Department of Earth Observation Science.

Research Interests

• extreme value theory and statistics
• spatial statistics
• simulation of stochastic processes
• modelling of extreme events in meteorology and climatology
