David Bolin is a professor of statistics in the CEMSE Division at KAUST, where he leads the stochastic processes and mathematical statistics research group. Before joining KAUST, he was an associate professor of mathematical statistics at the University of Gothenburg. He received his Ph.D. in mathematical statistics from Lund University in 2012. 
Bolin's research focuses on stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) and their applications in statistics, with an emphasis on developing practical, computationally efficient tools for modeling non-stationary and non-Gaussian processes. He has made significant contributions to the theory of Gaussian processes, optimal linear prediction, fractional-order SPDEs, and stochastic processes on metric graphs. He has also developed and maintains several widely used software packages for advanced statistical modeling.  
Bolin is an elected member of the International Statistical Institute, and has received multiple honors, including the Section on Statistics and the Environment Early Investigator Award from the American Statistical Association and the Cramér Prize from the Cramér section of the Swedish Statistical Society.
