Blending theory and practice to improve the understanding of complex economic phenomena, Florian Gunsilius serves as an Assistant Professor of Econometrics at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. With a robust academic background, he earned his PhD in Economics from Brown University, where he was honored with the prestigious Joukowsky Family Foundation Dissertation Award in the Social Sciences. This accolade underscores his commitment to advancing economic research and his exceptional scholarly contributions. Professor Gunsilius's research interests are deeply rooted in nonparametric statistics, a field that allows for flexible modeling without assuming a specific functional form. His work primarily focuses on statistical identification, estimation, and inference, employing nonparametric methods to address intricate econometric challenges. By leveraging these approaches, he aims to enhance the precision and reliability of economic models, thereby contributing to more accurate policy analysis and decision-making. In addition to his research endeavors, Professor Gunsilius is dedicated to fostering the next generation of economists through his teaching. He is set to teach econometrics at the graduate level, where he will guide students in mastering both theoretical and applied aspects of the discipline. His courses are designed to equip students with the analytical tools necessary to tackle real-world economic issues, preparing them for successful careers in academia, industry, and government. Outside of his academic pursuits, Professor Gunsilius is actively engaged in the broader economics community, frequently collaborating with fellow researchers and participating in conferences. His commitment to both research and education reflects his passion for economics and his desire to make a meaningful impact in the field.
