He grew up in Vienna, attended secondary school at the Theresianum there (graduating in 1998 with distinction) and obtained his academic degrees from the University of Vienna, including a PhD in 2005.[3] He has made contributions to various areas of mathematical statistics; including non-parametric and high-dimensional statistics, empirical process theory, and Bayesian inference for statistical inverse problems and partial differential equations.[4] Jointly with Evarist Giné, he is the author of the book `Mathematical foundations of infinite-dimensional statistical models',[5] published with Cambridge University Press, which won the 2017 PROSE Award for best monograph in the mathematics category.[6] He was an invited speaker at the 2022 International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) [7] and at the 8th European Congress of Mathematics (ECM).[8] He has been awarded the 2017 Ethel Newbold Prize of the Bernoulli Society as well as a Consolidator Grant [9] and an Advanced Grant [10] by the European Research Council.
