Mats J. Stensrud (born 1989 in Trondheim, Norway) is a Norwegian physician and biostatistician. He is a professor of Statistics at EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) and the head of the Chair of Biostatistics at the Deparment of Mathematics at the School of Basic Sciences.[1][2]

Career physician

Stensrud studied mathematics and medicine at the University of Oslo. In 2013, he received a Bachelor's degree in mathematics from University of Oslo, and in 2014, a Master's degree with honors from University of Oxford. In 2015, he graduated with a PhD in neuroscience with a thesis supervise by Vidar Gundersen on "Non-classical release of classical neurotransmitters,"[3][4] and in 2016, he received his medical doctor (MD) degree, both at University of Oslo. He then joined as an intern the Department of Medicine and Department of Surgery Diakonhjemmet Hospital in Oslo for his initial clinical training in internal medicine and general surgery. In March 2018, he joined both Odd O. Aalen and Kjetil Røysland at the Department of Biostatistics at the University of Oslo as a part-time postdoctoral fellow, and the Department of Medicine at the Diakonhjemmet Hospital as a residence doctor.[5] In September 2018, he went to work on causal inference methodology at the Department of Epidemiology at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health|Harvard School of Fulbright scholar and Kolokotrones fellow, mentored by Miguel Hernán James M. Robins.[6][7]

Since September 2020, he is tenure-track assistant professor of statistics at EPFL and the head of the Chair of Biostatistics at EPFL's School of Basic Sciences.[1][2]

Research

Stensrud research focuses on methods for causal inference in complex settings with time dependent exposures and outcomes. Many of his works are inspired by applications in medicine and epidemiology. Stensrud's research is known for method development for causal inference in longitudinal settings.[8][9][10]

Distinctions

Stensrud is the runner up of the 2018 Rothman Prize for best article in epidemiology,[11] the runner up of the 2018 Statistical Excellence Award for Early-Career Writing for best article in 2018 jointly with Morten Valberg,[12] and the winner of the 2018 Best Paper Award by Norwegian Epidemiological Association for his Nature Communications paper on "Inequality in cancer risk suggest bad genes rather than bad luck."[6][13] In 2018, he was the the Norwegian candidate at the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting.[6] In 2014, he received the Gutierrez-Toscano Prize for the best achievements in the Master in Applied Statistics from University of Oxford.[14]
