Rinaldo and Tibshirani Selected as 2022 IMS Fellows

Profs. Alessandro Rinaldo and Ryan Tibshirani have been selected as 2022 Institute of Mathematical Sciences (IMS) Fellows.  All of the new IMS Fellows will be honored at the IMS Presidential Address and Awards Ceremony at the annual meeting in London on June 27-30, 2022.

Prof. Rinaldo received the award for pathbreaking work on algebraic statistics, high-dimensional inference, network theory, topological inference, privacy and clustering.

Prof. Tibshirani received the award for fundamental contributions to the applications, algorithms and inference problems related to LASSO and convex optimization methods; and conformal inference, high dimensional statistics and public health.

The designation of IMS Fellow has been a significant honor for over 85 years. Each Fellow is assessed by a committee of their peers and has demonstrated distinction in research or leadership that has profoundly influenced the field.

Created in 1935, the IMS is a member organization that fosters the development and dissemination of the theory and applications of statistics and probability. The IMS has 4,200 active members throughout the world. Approximately 10% of the current IMS membership has earned the status of fellowship.

Congratulations to Ale and Ryan!
