Biography

Uffe Høgsbro Thygesen received his Ph.D. degree from the Technical University of Denmark in 1999, based on a thesis on stochastic control theory. He worked with applications to marine ecology and fisheries until 2017, where he joined the Department of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science at the same university. His research interests are centered on deterministic and stochastic dynamic systems and involve times series analysis, control, and dynamic games, primarily with applications in life science. In his spare time he teaches sailing and kayaking and learns guitar and photography.
