Hongyu Zhao, Ph.D., Professor of Biostatistics at Yale School of Public Health, has been named Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS). Zhao was inducted as Fellow at the IMS Annual Meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah on July 30. The IMS honored Zhao for his “fundamental contributions to statistical genomics, genetic epidemiology, and computational biology,” as well as for editorial services and for his “training of graduate and postdoctoral students.” Established in 1933, the IMS is an organization which fosters the development and dissemination of theory and applications of statistics and probability. It has 4500 active members internationally. Selected from 48 nominees, Zhao is one of only 23 members to be honored as Fellow this year. Approximately only 5% of active IMS members have earned fellowship status. -Story by Marcie Foley |
