Scientific Projects

Statistical inference on models for non-stationary extremes — ongoing research
Developed an R package with a C++ backend for bootstrapping block maxima, published on CRAN
Bootstrapping block maxima estimators for time series — resulted in a publication in the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Statistical Methodology
On the maximal correlation coefficient for the bivariate Marshall–Olkin distribution — resulted in a publication in Statistics & Probability Letters
U-statistics of block maxima for time series — resulted in a publication in the Electronic Journal of Statistics

International research stay grant — funding for my project proposal Sliding block maxima under non-stationarities. Included a 2-month stay in Belgium at the ISBA under the supervision of Prof. Johan Segers. Awarded to Torben Staud
Heinrich Heine University stipend — performance-based award funded by Provinzial Rheinland Versicherungen AG. Awarded to Torben Staud
DFG project — funding of my Ph.D. for three years. Awarded to Prof. Axel Bücher
