Miguel A. Sordo is a Full Professor in the Department of Statistics and Operation Research at the University of Cádiz, where he  served as director from 2008 to 2016. He currently teaches courses on stochastic processes and risk theory  in the degree and the master in  Mathematics at that university. He received the degree in Mathematics from the University of Sevilla in 1990 and the Ph.D. degree in Mathematics from the University of Cádiz in 2000. His research interests focus on the fields of applied probability and statistics, particularly in risk theory, actuarial modelling, stochastic orderings, engineering reliability and income inequality and poverty measurement.  He has supervised six doctoral theses and is the co-author of more than 45 papers on these topics in international journals such as Insurance: Mathematics and Economics, Astin Bulletin, Journal of Multivariate Analysis, Bayesian Analysis, Journal of Economic Theory, R Journal  or  IEEE Transactions in Reliability, among others.
He has participated as principal investigator in five research projects obtained in competitive national and regional calls, being currently co-principal investigator of the projects entitled  "Stochastic orderings with applications to Insurance, Finance and Reliability",  funded by the Spanish Government, and “Stochastic models for measuring and comparing systemic risks”, co-funded by the Regional Government of Andalusia and FEDER.  He holds three research periods recognized  by ANECA (the last one achieved in 2015).
