Touqeer Ahmad recently joined the Department of Mathematics at UiO as a postdoctoral research fellow under the DSTrain–MSCA program. His project will focus on the stochastic modelling of natural processes. Before that, he was a postdoctoral research fellow at the Institut Denis Poisson, Université d’Orléans, France, from May 2025 to October 2025. There, he worked on the missing data problem in high-dimensional environmental time series as part of the JUNON project. Prior to that, he also held a postdoctoral position at ENSAI, France, from May 2023 to April 2025, where he worked on machine learning and data mining of extreme values in massive data under a prestigious Région Bretagne research grant. He earned a PhD in statistics with the Doctor Europaeus Label in June 2023 from the Department of Statistical Sciences at the University of Padova, Italy. His doctoral research focused on the modeling of discrete extreme values.

Jonas Wallin is an Associate Professor of statistics in the Department of Statistics at Lund University in Sweden. He is a mathematical statistician working with spatial statistics, Gaussian processes, optimisation and high dimensional regularisation. 

Per August Jarval Moen is a Doctoral Research Fellow at the Department of Mathematics at the University of Oslo. He defended his PhD thesis in June 2025. Per August is mainly working within theoretical and methodological change and anomaly detection problems. More broadly, he is interested in high-dimensional problems, computational statistics and optimality theory. 

Postdoctoral fellow at Integreat - The Norwegian Centre for Knowledge-driven Machine Learning. His research interests lie in the intersection of causal inference, machine learning, and semiparametric statistics.
