Dr Christian Rohrbeck

Research interests:

  • Extreme value theory
  • Methods for spatial and spatio-temporal data
  • Bayesian computation

Christian’s research focuses on advancing and combining methodology from several statistical areas, such as Bayesian clustering, extreme value theory, nonparametric regression and spatial statistics. He is also interested in developing new statistical theory and software. His work has been used to model and analyse environmental and financial data, for instance, extreme river flow and property insurance claims.
