Paul Embrechts, Professor of Mathematics, ETH Zurich:

“Current events around the world bring the consequences of natural catastrophes almost daily to our attention.

In this talk I will discuss how mathematical and statistical methodology, through the field of Extreme Value Theory (EVT), offers a scientific language useful in a broader societal discussion around such devastating events. I will review some of the main mathematical results and indicate where necessary future research is needed.”

After the lecture there will be a reception in “Vandrehallen” (HC Ørsted Institute, Universitetsparken 5) at  the MATH-building.
