Johanna G. Nešlehová (born July 26, 1977)[1] is a Czech mathematical statistician who works in Canada at McGill University as a professor in the department of mathematics and statistics.[2] Her research interests include copulas, extreme value theory, multivariate statistics, and operational risk.[2][3]
Education and career[edit]
Nešlehová is originally from Prague, the daughter of painter Pavel Nešleha and art historian Mahulena Nešlehová.[3] She studied at the Charles University, the University of Hamburg, and the University of Oldenburg, earning a degree (vordiplom) from University of Hamburg in 1999, a master's degree (diplom) from the University of Hamburg in 2000, and a doctorate from the University of Oldenburg in 2004.[2] Her dissertation, Dependence of Non-continuous Random Variables, was supervised by Dietmar Pfeifer.[4]
After working as a postdoctoral researcher and Heinz Hopf Lecturer at ETH Zürich, she joined the McGill University faculty in 2009.[3] Since October 2022 she is also a professor at WU Vienna University of Economics and Business.[5]
Book[edit]
With Erhard Cramer, Nešlehová is the author of a German-language undergraduate textbook in introductory mathematics, Vorkurs Mathematik: Arbeitsbuch zum Studienbeginn in Bachelor-Studiengängen (Springer, 2005; 7th ed., 2018).[3][6]
Recognition[edit]
Nešlehová was named as an Elected Member of the International Statistical Institute in 2011.[2] In 2020 she was named a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics.[2][7]
She was the 2019 winner of the CRM-SSC Prize in Statistics "for fundamental contributions to multivariate statistics, and in particular stochastic dependence modeling and extreme-value theory, and for her efforts to promote the sound application of statistics in risk management".[3]
In 2023, Nešlehová was the second statistician (after Nancy Reid in 1995) to receive the Krieger–Nelson Prize of the Canadian Mathematical Society.[2][8]
Personal life[edit]
Nešlehová is married to statistician Christian Genest.[1]
