Torkel Erhardsson is an Associate Professor (Docent) in the Department of Mathematics at Linköping University, Sweden. He is affiliated with the Division of Applied Mathematics (TIMA), where he conducts research in probability theory, stochastic processes, and statistical inference. His research interests include: Bounds for distances between probability distributions using Stein's method and couplings Applications to normal and compound Poisson approximations Bayesian nonparametric inference and asymptotics of posterior distributions Higher-dimensional autoregressive processes with random coefficients Reciprocal chains and reciprocal random fields on undirected graphs His recent publications (2008–2023) in journals such as Journal of Applied Probability , Advances in Applied Probability , and IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control reflect a strong focus on theoretical probability and its applications, particularly in approximation methods and stochastic modeling. The work shows increasing emphasis on graphical models and reciprocal processes in recent years. There are no listed scientific awards or honors in the provided materials. Torkel Erhardsson actively contributes to the academic life at Linköping University, participating in seminars in statistics and mathematical statistics. There is no public information indicating student advising, grant funding, or leadership of specific research labs or teams.
