  • Anders Martin-Löf (born 16 March 1940) is a Swedish physicist and mathematician.
  • He has been a professor in insurance mathematics and mathematical statistics since 1987 at the Department of Mathematics of Stockholm University. Martin-Löf did his undergraduate studies at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm and got his exam in engineering physics in 1963.
  • He continued with graduate studies in optimization at KTH and at MIT in the United States from 1967/1968, later on followed by a position as Research Associate at the Rockefeller University in New York City 1970/1971, working with probability theory and applications to statistical mechanics.
