About Anders Martin-Löf
- 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.
- Back at KTH in Stockholm he received his Ph.D.
- degree in 1973. During the following 10 years he continued working with similar issues as "docent" in Uppsala and Stockholm.
- In the 1980s he changed to insurance mathematics with the Folksam company including development of theories for controlling movements of insurances.
- From 1987 he has been working with theoretical and applied aspects of his assignment as professor with the Stockholm University. Martin-Löf has two children from his first marriage and a daughter from his second.
- Anders is the brother of Per Martin-Löf, who was responsible for a pioneering definition of randomness, as well as a foundation for constructive mathematics based on intuitionistic type theory.
- Per is also a professor at Stockholm University, with joint appointments in the departments of Mathematics and Philosophy.
- They share an interest in statistics, and in statistical mechanics, though Per has been more interested in the foundations of statistics, while Anders has been more interested in financial mathematics.
- Their elder brother Johan is also an engineering physicist but more inclined to space technology. Martin-Löf was a fellow student at KTH with Olav Kallenberg.
