Ioannis Kontoyiannis,Ìý

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. Established in 1935, the Institute of Mathematical Statistics is a member organization that fosters the development and dissemination of the theory and applications of statistics and probability. Two members in our society have been named IMS Fellow:

Ioannis Kontoyiannis (FÂ鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­)—Professor, University of Cambridge, UK,Ìýfor outstanding contributions to fundamental problems in information theory, and for consistent and important contributions in developing the deep connections of information theory with probability and statistics.

Yihong Wu (SMÂ鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­)—Professor, Yale University, USA,Ìýfor contributions to both the statistical and computational aspects of high-dimensional and combinatorial statistical problems, mixture models, and empirical Bayes.
