- Biography
Liang Peng is a professor of risk management and insurance in the Robinson College of Business at Georgia State University. He received his Ph.D. in statistics at Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands in 1998. He is a fellow of both Institute of Mathematical Statistics and American Statistical Association. His research interests include extreme value theory, nonparametric statistics and time series analysis with particular applications in finance, insurance and risk management.
