Paavo Salminen has worked as a professor in mathematics at \u00a0\u00c5bo Akademi University since 1994. He has been the head of the Department of Mathematics \u00a0for several years, the vice head of the Department of Natural Sciences (2010-2012) and the chairman for the Finnish Doctoral Programme for Stochastics and Statistics (2009-). He has supervised five PhD theses and has at the moment two PhD students. Salminen has been editor of Scandinavian Journal of Statistics 2010-2012 and guest editor for a special volume in optimal stopping for Stochastics, \u00a0International Journal in \u00a0Probability and Stochastic Processes. He has worked as a reviewer for the most of the high ranked journals in probability and stochastics. Salminen has 58 peer-reviewed publications in international journals. He has on his record many research visits and visits as a guest professor in European universities, in particular, in France, Germany, Russia \u00a0and Sweden. \u00a0Salminen is the coauthor of \u00a0the much cited monograph Handbook of Brownian motion — facts and formulae<\/em>. Professor Salminen’s main research interests are in Brownian motion, diffusions, L\u00e9vy processes and their applications and use in stochastic modeling, especially, in mathematical finance and queuing theory. In recent years, the research focus has been on the theory of optimal stopping and on closely related fields like singular and impulse control of stochastic processes.<\/p>\n
