Vytaras Brazauskas

Vytaras Brazauskas is a Professor and Associate Chair in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, within the College of Letters & Science. He holds professional designations as an Associate of the Society of Actuaries (ASA) and serves as President of the Milwaukee Chapter of the American Statistical Association. His research focuses on quantitative approaches to risk assessment and statistical modeling.

Education includes:

• PhD in Mathematical Statistics, University of Texas at Dallas (1999)
• MS in Mathematical Statistics, University of Texas at Dallas (1995)
• University Diploma in Applied Mathematics, Vilnius University, Lithuania (1993)

Research interests center on actuarial science methodologies, including credibility theory, robust estimation of risk measures, and modeling of loss data. His work develops statistical approaches for insurance pricing, operational risk quantification, and extreme value analysis. Recent publications examine quantile estimation techniques and robust fitting of complex distributions under data censoring.

Honors include the Variance Prize from the Casualty Actuarial Society for the Best Paper in 2013. Current investigations focus on winsorized moment methods and quantile-based approaches for risk measurement in actuarial contexts.

As part of the Actuarial Science Research Group and Statistics Research Group, Dr. Brazauskas collaborates on developing computational methods for risk assessment in insurance and finance applications.
