Welcome to my homepage Adrian Rollin Adrian Roellin

I am currently Assistant Professor at the Department of Statistics and Applied Probability of the National University of Singapore. My current address is: Adrian Roellin Department of Statistics and Applied Probability National University of Singapore 3 Science Drive 2 Singapore 117543 My surname is spelled either "Röllin" or "Roellin". Both variants are equivalent according to standard German grammar, but I usually use the former one in scientific publications. The variants "Rollin" and "Röellin" are somewhat incorrect. The letter "ö" is proncounced like the vowel "u" in "fur", but short. And if you can speak with a Scottish accent, you can also pronounce the "R" correctly.
