Vladimir Panov is an assistant professor at the National Research University - Higher School of Economics (Moscow).  He graduated from the Moscow State University, and completed his PhD at the Humboldt University in Berlin. During his PhD and postdoctoral studies, he worked on various projects within the Collaborative Research Centres (SFB) on economic risks and statistical modelling of nonlinear dynamic processes.  He was a research assistant at the Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics in Berlin (2008-2011), and later a postdoc at the University of Duisburg-Essen (2011-2013). His current research interests are primarily in the field of statistical inference for stochastic processes and Levy-based models.
