A conversation with Oscar Bustos. (Comments from Jorge G. Adrover, Hector Allende O. and Alejandro C. Frery). (English) Zbl 1449.01024

Summary: Oscar Bustos was born on March 20, 1947, in San Nicolás de los Arroyos, Argentina. He completed a B.A. degree in Mathematics in 1970 at the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba (UNC), Argentina. In the period 1970–1976 he worked as a part-time instructor in the same department. In 1976 he went to the Universidad Nacional de San Luis, Argentina, where he completed a Ph.D. degree in Mathematics in 1978 under the supervision of Dr. Ricardo Maronna. Because the situation in Argentina at that moment was difficult he decided to move to Brazil (Instituo Nacional de Matemática Pura e Aplicada, IMPA) where his academic career was highly enriched by the interaction with other colleagues and students. In 1992 he returned to Argentina and the same year he joined the UNC as a full professor in the department of Mathematics, Astronomy, and Physics. Dr. Bustos since then has been a very active investigator in robustness, time series, image processing, satellite acquisition systems, among other fields. He has been the chair of the Probability and Statistics group in the same university since 1992 supervising eleven Ph.D. students, more than thirty master students and leading a number of activities such as participating in the evaluation of programs, editorial service for many journals, the creation of master’s and doctoral programs in statistics and establishing a constant interaction with the National Commission on Space Activities (CONAE in Spanish). For these and other reasons he is a distinguished professor in the department of Mathematics, Astronomy, and Physics (FAMAF) at UNC, Córdoba, Argentina. Since 1990 he has been in touch with chilean investigators interacting and developing statistical methods with applications in image processing and time series.
The following conversation took place at FAMAF, UNC, Córdoba, Argentina, May 4, 2014.
