Dr. Rodney Wolff hails from the sub-tropical city of Brisbane on the east coast of Australia, where he has spent most of his natural life, and a goodly portion of his academic life. He read for his doctorate at the University of Oxford (1988-1991), and considers himself most fortunate to have had the privilege of studying under the supervision of Sir David Cox. His thesis was entitled "On Statistical Aspects of Chaos and Dimension", and he has continued with research on chaos and non-linear time series ever since, including collaborations with Professor Peter Hall on non-parametric smoothing in non-linear systems; with Professor Tony Lawrance on chaotic encryption; and with Professor Dominique Guegan on estimation of invariants of chaotic maps. The Australian Research Council is currently funding some of his collaborative research on statistical models for accounting systems, and on environmental health indicators. Before taking up a Senior Lectureship in Statistics at The University of Queensland in 2001, he held posts at Queensland University of Technology (1995-2001) (including the office of Student Ombudsman) and the University of Glasgow (1991-1995). He has served on the council of the Statistical Society of Australia Inc, as well as on the editorial boards of Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series B, and Australian and New Zealand Journal of Statistics. He wishes to record here his gratitude to the Bernoulli Society for providing this exciting opportunity to edit Bernoulli News, and aspires maintaining the current high standards of the publication. His contact details are below.
