Biographical sketch

Born in 1954, Herold Dehling grew up on his parents' farm in East Frisia, in the northwest of Germany. He attended grammar school in Papenburg, graduating in 1973. From 1973 to 1981 Herold Dehling studied Mathematics at Göttingen, graduating with an M.Sc. in 1979, and a Ph.D. in 1981. His Ph.D. advisor was Prof. Manfred Denker. In the academic year 1979/80, he studied at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with Prof. Walter Philipp. In 1982 Herold Dehling became postdoctoral researcher at the Göttingen Institute for Mathematical Stochastics. From 1985 to 1987, he was Visiting Assistant Professor at Boston University, where he worked with Prof. Murad Taqqu. In 1988 Herold Dehling became Associate Professor of Mathematics at the University of Groningen (The Netherlands); in 1996 he was promoted to Full Professor. In 2000 Herold Dehling moved to his current position at Ruhr-University Bochum, where he holds the chair in Probability Theory and its Applications.
Herold Dehling is an elected member of the International Statistical Institute and Fellow of the Institute of mathematical Statistics. In 2005, we was awarded the Prix Gay-Lussac-Humboldt of the Republic of France. Herold Dehling has held short term visiting positions at Oregon State University (1987, 1983), University of Kiel (1997), Université de Rouen (2002), Université de Rennes (2007), Université de Tours (2012) and Acadia University, Nova Scotia (2015).
Herold Dehling has been chair of the Scientic Programme Committees of several major conferences, e.g. the 2006 European Meeting of Statisticians, the 2012 German Probability and Statistics Days, and the 2013 German-Polish Joint Conference on Probability and Mathematical Statistics.
Since 1981, Herold Dehling has been married to Gundula Busse-Dehling; they have 5 children: Eike (Göttingen, 1983), Malte (Boston, 1985), Geeske (Groningen, 1988), Wiete (Groningen, 1994), and Birte (Groningen, 1996).
