Igor Rychlik Author

Igor Rychlik is Professor Emeritus at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden. He earned a PhD in mathematical statistics at Lund University, Sweden, 1986. During 1988–1990 he was a post-doctoral student in the Department of Statistics at Colorado State University, and in 1995 he was a Visiting Professor at the University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia. He became a Professor of Mathematical Statistics at Lund in 1999 and in 2007 at Chalmers University of Technology, Göteborg. There he also worked as a scientific advisor to the Fraunhofer-Chalmers Centre for industrial mathematics. Since 2017 he has been a Professor Emeritus. His main interest is in engineering applications of random processes and fields and in the modelling of complex environmental loads, wind, sea waves and vehicle operating conditions. He is a coauthor of Guide to Load Analysis for Durability in Vehicle Engineering and Probability and Risk Analysis: An Introduction for Engineers.

Sayan Gupta is a Professor in the Department of Applied Mechanics at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras. He earned a degree in civil engineering at Jadavpur University Kolkata in 1997 and a PhD at the Indian Institute of Science Bangalore in 2005. He was a post-doctoral student at the Technical University of Delft from 2005 to 2007. He has held visiting positions at Waterloo, Lund and Chalmers. Since 2007 he worked at IIT Madras, where he leads the Uncertainty Lab. He is the principal investigator for the Center for Complex Systems and Dynamics, IIT Madras, and he is the coordinator for the degree program on complex systems and dynamics. His primary research interests are in non-linear dynamics and stochastic mechanics.

Georg Lindgren is a Professor Emeritus in the engineering faculty at Lund University, Sweden. He earned a PhD in mathematical statistics at Lund in 1972 with a thesis inspired by an intriguing question regarding random load cycle ranges. After a period as an Associate Professor at Lund and at Umeå, he became a Professor of Mathematical Statistics at Lund in 1986, and since 2006 he has been a Professor Emeritus. His main interest includes random processes and their use in communication technology, marine and mechanical engineering and medicine. He is a coauthor of a 1983 research volume on the extremes and related properties of random sequences and processes and two research/advanced student texts on stationary stochastic processes. He is a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA).
