Richard D. Gill (mathematician)
- Richard D. Gill (mathematician)
Richard David Gill (born 11 September 1951) was born in the United Kingdom. He studied mathematics at the University of Cambridge (1970-1973), and subsequently followed the Diploma of Statistics course there (1973-1974). Marrying a Dutch woman, he moved to the Netherlands where he worked from 1974 to 1988 at the Mathematical Centre (later renamed CWI), Amsterdam. He obtained his PhD in 1979 with the thesis "Censoring and Stochastic Integrals". Richard spent Autumn 1980 at the Statistical Research Unit, University of Copenhagen. This led some ten years later to the book "Statistical Models for Counting Processes", often referred to briefly as "ABGK" (Andersen, Borgan, Gill and Keiding). From 1983 he was head of the Department of Mathematical Statistics at CWI. In 1988 he moved to the Department of Mathematics, Utrecht University (chair in Mathematical Stochastics, supposed to indicate Mathematical Statistics plus Probability Theory plus Operations Research). In 2006, he moved again to the Department of Mathematics at Leiden University (chair of Mathematical Statistics).
His main current research interests are in Quantum information (statistical), and in statistics in the modern biosciences. He has also worked on survival analysis, semiparametric models, causality, missing data, learning, and statistics in image analysis. He is moreover fascinated by foundational aspects of statistics, probability, mathematics and quantum physics.
In recent years he has actively lobbied for retrials for Lucia de Berk and Kevin Sweeney, both of whom where sentenced to imprisonment after a probable miscarriage of justice.
