Announcing the winner of the David G. Kendall Award for Young Researchers

The RSS is pleased to announce this years’ winner of the David G. Kendall Award for Young Researchers: congratulations to Qiyang Han!

The biannual award is presented  jointly by the RSS and the Bernoulli Society to a young researcher that has made a significant contribution to the alternating fields of mathematical statistics or probability theory. David G. Kendall (1918–2007) was the first president of the Bernoulli Society and recipient of the RSS Guy Medal in Silver (1955) and in Gold (1981).

This year, the award recognises Rutgers University Assistant Professor Qiyang Han for his outstanding contributions to, among other things, empirical process theory, nonparametric inference under shape constraints and asymptotics for multivariate models.

Qiyang receives a prize of 2,000 euros and, as this year’s award is being given for contributions to mathematical statistics, is also invited to give the Kendall Lecture at the 2024 RSS Annual International Conference.
