Anna Kiriliouk

In September 2018, I joined the Université de Namur as an assistant professor in Statistics, being affiliated with both the Faculty of Economics, Social sciences and Business Administration and the Department of Mathematics. Prior to that, I spent a year as an assistant professor in the Department of Econometrics of the Erasmus University Rotterdam and four years as a FRIA research fellow (PhD) at the Université catholique de Louvain. 

My main research field is extreme value theory, with a focus on environmental applications, the development of statistical methodology for multivariate extremes, high-dimensional modelling, spatial extremes, and semi- and non-parametric inference. Recently, I've been particularly interested in topics related to the climate sciences, such as climate extreme event attribution and compound extremes.
