Jesper Møller (also written Moller or Moeller; born December 6, 1957) is a Danish mathematician. He is a professor at the Department of Mathematical Sciences, Aalborg University, where he conducts research and teaching in mathematical statistics and probability theory. In 2012, he created the Bachelor and Master's Programmes in Mathematics and Technology at Aalborg University. He was born in Nakskov, Denmark. Scientific career Jesper Møller is M.Sc. (cand.scient.) in mathematics and mathematical statistics (Aarhus University), 1984; Ph.D. in mathematical statistics (Aarhus University), 1988; and D.Sc. (dr.scient.; title of dissertation: `Aspects of Spatial Statistics, Stochastic Geometry and Markov Chain Monte Carlo´; Aalborg University), 2000. He was Assistant Professor and Associate Professor at Aarhus University, 1988–1995, Associate Professor at Aalborg University, 1996–2000, and Professor at Aalborg University since 2001. Research Jesper Møller's research interests include spatial statistics (in particular statistical models and methods for spatial point processes), stochastic geometry (in particular random tessellations), stochastic simulation (Markov-chain Monte Carlo methods and perfect simulation). His research has been supported by project grants from Danish National Research Foundation, Independent Research Fund Denmark, EU, Velux Foundation, and Spar Nord Foundation. He has been Associated Editor of Annals of Applied Probability, Advances in Applied Probability, Bernoulli, and Associate Editor and National Editor of the Scandinavian Journal of Statistics.
