Dr. Erhardt's research interests include environmental and climate statistics, computational statistics, extremes, and actuarial science. He is particularly interested in measuring and quantifying environmental risks, studying impacts of climate change on these risks, and exploring possible insurance solutions.

Erhardt's research is funded by the The Research Grants Task Force of the Casualty Actuarial Society, and from the Society of Actuaries. He is funded under the programs of the Committee on Knowledge Extension Research, the Climate and Environmental Research Sustainability Committee, and the Research Expanding Boundaries (REX) Pool.

He completed his doctorate in Statistics and Operations Research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He also completed degrees from the State University of New York College at Geneseo and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In 2010, he became an Associate of the Casualty Actuarial Society.

Erhardt is originally from a small town in the Hudson River Valley of New York State, and loves all things "upstate." In his spare time, he enjoys backpacking and woodworking.
