Esa Läärä

I obtained MSc in Applied Statistics at Oxford University in 1985, and became Licentiate in Social Sciences at the University of Helsinki in 1987. From 1981 onwards I worked as a biostatistician and epidemiologist at the Finnish Cancer Registry and at Universities of Kuopio, Tampere and Oulu. Since 1996 until 2022 I served as Associate Professor and Professor in Statistics, especially Biometry, at the Department - now Research Unit - of Mathematical Sciences, University of Oulu. Currently I am emeritus professor at this Unit. Since 2009 I am also visiting professor at the University of Tartu, Estonia.
