معرفی
Georgios Pitselis is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics and Insurance Science at the University of Piraeus, Greece, where he has held academic positions since 1999, obtaining tenure in 2011. His career includes visiting professorships at KU Leuven (via BF Senior Fellowship), Concordia University, and the Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, alongside editorial roles for leading actuarial journals including Insurance Mathematics and Economics.
His educational background features a PhD in Statistics and Actuarial Sciences (1998) from the University of Montreal, an MSc in Statistics and Mathematics (1986), and a BSc in Mathematics with Statistics specialization (1983), both from Concordia University.
Pitselis' research centers on credibility theory applications in insurance and risk management, with emphasis on robust estimation techniques, Solvency II compliance, mortality/longevity modeling, and non-life risk quantification. His work bridges theoretical statistics with practical insurance challenges, particularly through quantile regression frameworks and multi-population mortality forecasting.
Recent publications (2016-2022) demonstrate a cohesive trajectory integrating credibility models with modern statistical methods for insurance applications. Key trends include hierarchical credibility approaches for multi-population mortality, robust loss reserving under data scarcity, and risk measure development within quantile regression frameworks – often applied to Greek insurance markets and pension systems.

As an active conference organizer and editorial board member, Pitselis has contributed to the academic infrastructure of actuarial science through workshops on Solvency II, the International Congress on Insurance Mathematics and Economics, and special journal issues. His professional service includes referee roles for major journals and research councils, though specific grant funding isn't documented in the source material.
While no dedicated research labs are mentioned, his collaborative work with institutions like KU Leuven and involvement in Greek actuarial workshops indicate participation in broader research networks focused on insurance risk quantification and regulatory compliance.
