Peter Guttorp is a statistician, born in Sweden, with most of his career in the United States. He is a professor emeritus at the University of Washington ^[1] and professor at the Norwegian Computing Center. ^[2] Most of his work is in stochastic modeling of scientific data in hematology, geosciences, and climatology, with particular focus on spatial and spatio-temporal approaches. He has also worked in the history of statistics.

Guttorp received a journalist exam from the Stockholm School of Journalism in 1969, and a PhD in Statistics from the University of California at Berkeley in 1980. ^[3] He was awarded an honorary doctorate from Lund University in 2009. ^[4]

Guttorp is a fellow of the American Statistical Association, ^[5] and the Institute of Mathematical Statistics. ^[6] He is an elected member of the International Statistical Institute ^[7] and served on its executive committee as vice president from 2017 to 2021. ^[8] He was president of the International Environmetric Society from 2002 to 2004. ^[9]
