Professor Jonathan Tawn is a Distinguished Professor of Statistics at Lancaster University's School of Mathematical Sciences within the Faculty of Science and Technology. He has held this position since 1996 and served as Head of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics from 2000 to 2007. Currently, he directs the STOR-i Doctoral Training Centre, focusing on statistics and operational research in collaboration with industry.
His research expertise centers on extreme value theory and its applications across disciplines such as oceanography, climatology, hydrology, and finance. Notable areas include modelling spatial extremes, environmental risk assessment, and statistical methods for extreme events. Tawn leads projects addressing climate change impacts on extreme weather, flood frequency analysis, and structural risk assessment in marine environments.
Recent work includes studies on spatio-temporal extreme temperature patterns in Ireland, oceanographic data analysis for structural safety, and methodological advancements in threshold selection for extreme value analysis. He collaborates with international teams on environmental hazards and advises on statistical methodologies for extreme events.
Tawn supervises PhD students in extreme value applications, including oceanographic extremes, induced seismicity risk assessment, and spatial environmental data analysis. He has contributed to over 150 peer-reviewed publications, advancing both theoretical and applied aspects of extreme value statistics.
