Biography

Olav Kallenberg was educated in Sweden. He has worked as a probabilist in Sweden and in the United States.

Sweden

Kallenberg was born and educated in Sweden, with an undergraduate exam in engineering physics from Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm. Kallenberg entered doctoral studies in mathematical statistics at KTH, but left his studies to work in operations analysis for a consulting firm in Gothenburg. While in Gothenburg, Kallenberg also taught at Chalmers University of Technology, from which he received his Ph.D. in 1972.[1] After earning his doctoral degree, Kallenberg stayed with Chalmers as a lecturer.

Kallenberg was appointed a full professor in Uppsala University.

United States

Later he moved to the United States. Since 1986, he has been Professor of Mathematics and Statistics at Auburn University.

Family life

Kallenberg is living with his wife and their four children in Auburn.

Honours and awards

In 1977, Kallenberg was awarded the Rollo Davidson Prize from Cambridge University, and Kallenberg was only the second recipient of the prize in history.[2]

Kallenberg is a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics.[3]

In April 2006 Kallenberg was selected Auburn’s 32nd annual Distinguished Graduate Faculty Lecturer at Auburn.[4] Kallenberg delivered the 2003 AACTM Lewis-Parker Lecture at the University of Alabama at Huntsville.[5]
