Susanne Ditlevsen
Susanne Ditlevsen is a Danish mathematician and statistician, interested in mathematical biology, perception, dynamical systems, and statistical modeling of biological systems. [1]She is a professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences of the University of Copenhagen, where she heads the section of statistics and probability theory.[2][3]
Ditlevsen was an actor before she became a researcher.[4] She completed her Ph.D. in 2004 at the University of Copenhagen. Her dissertation, Modeling of physiological processes by stochastic differential equations, was supervised by Michael Sørensen.[5]
In 2012, Ditlevsen became an elected member of the International Statistical Institute.[6] In 2016, Ditlevsen was elected to the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters.[2]
In 2023, she and her brother Peter, a climate scientist, published an article predicting that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation has a 95% chance of collapsing between 2025 and 2095, with the statistical average of the predictions being 2057.[7] When this tipping point is reached, it will have severe consequences to the world's climate, especially of northern Europe (see Effects of AMOC slowdown).
