Biography

Torkel Erhardsson is an Associate Professor at Linköping University, specializing in probability theory, stochastic processes, and statistical inference. His research interests encompass a variety of topics including bounds on distances between probability distributions using Stein's method, couplings, and applications of bounds on normal approximations and compound Poisson approximations. This research is particularly relevant for understanding the behavior of rare events in stochastic processes. Moreover, he focuses on Bayesian inference, particularly nonparametric methods, and frequentist asymptotics related to posterior distributions. He has also investigated reciprocal chains and reciprocal random fields indexed by undirected graphs, enhancing theoretical frameworks in statistical modeling.
