Bühlmann Receives Anderson Award

The prestigious James C.H. Anderson Memorial Award was presented to Hans Bühlmann at the Society of Actuaries 50^th Anniversary meeting in San Francisco, on October 19, 1999. The award recognizes individuals for their outstanding contribution to the actuarial profession during the last 50 years.

Bühlmann, a scholar and a leader, wrote his now classic book, Mathematical Methods in Risk Theory (1970), which became fundamental to the study of non-life actuarial theory. His theoretical framework, the "Bühlmann model" and the subsequent "Bühlmann-Straub model," are used worldwide. Bühlmann's accomplishments also include serving as president of ETH-Zurich University and holding four honorary doctorates from universities around the world.
