Rudolf Markus Dünkigif received his Masters Degree Diploma in Physics from the Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zürich 1982 and his Ph.D. in Biophysics 1986 from the Biocenter of the University of Basel. After working a year on a database dictionnary for the Winterthur insurance company, he got 1988 a fellowship of the Swiss National Science Foundation (NF).

1993 he started with the analysis of psychophysiological time series as a member of the Computer Assisted Physics group (Head: Prof. P.F. Meier) at the University of Zürich in collaboration with the Cantonal Psychiatric Clinic Rheinau (ZH) (Research Director: Brigitte Ambühl, M.D.).
After breakdown of this project in 1998 he remained as a independent researcher at the physics institute while also joining MEDInnovation IG, a spin-off group involved in the development of medical safety devices. His main activities are now in the field of non-life insurance mathematics at the Helvetia Patria Insurance company, actuarial dept.
