About

Overview

Actuary from Copenhagen and statistician from UC-Berkeley. Worked as appointed actuary in his young days and led various product development departments before specialising in research and development. He became research director of RSA with responsibilities in life as well as non-life in 1999. From 2006 until 2012 he worked as an entreprenuer and he is still co-owner and board member of Copenhagen based ScienceFirstand Cyprus based Emergent. He is co-author of more than 100 scientific papers in reviewed journals of actuarial science, economics, econometrics and statistics and also one book on quantitative operational risk modelling and associate editor of a number of journals.

Research

Three main area of research are 1) In-Sample Forecasting (developed by Cass academics and co-auhtors) 2) Defined benefit advantages adapted to defined contribution products (implementing Merton's vision) 3) Asbestos mortality forecasting (application of In-Sample Forecasting).

Research topics

In-Sample Forecasting

General forecasting for longevity and reserving as well as many biostatistical forecasting problems

Prediction of stock returns

Take advantage of state-of-the-art smoothing methods while predicting stock returns

Bandwidth selection

The fundamental problem of mathematical statistics: the variance/Bias trade off.

Estimation of outstanding liabilities.

A major non-life actuarial issue. We focus on introducing state-of-the-art methodology of mathematical statistics into this old actuarial theme.

Asbestos mortality forecasting

Application of In-Sample forecasting

Remember Defined benefits methodology when moving to defined contribution pensions

new pension products adapted to current market situation
