Professor Horváth (University of Utah, USA, Member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, and recipient of the Humboldt Research Award) has shaped the theoretical foundations of change-point analysis for decades. He has published more than 400 influential monographs on limit theorems for stochastic processes. His mentorship has shaped over 30 PhD students across three continents.  His seminal work on limit theorems, functional approximations, and inference for structural breaks in dependent data (e.g., Horváth and Kokoszka, 1997; Aue et al., 2009) has become indispensable to modern time series methodology. His research spans econometrics, statistics, and probability, inspiring generations of scholars. This conference pays tribute to his enduring impact on the discipline.
