Aaditya Ramdas, an assistant professor in the Machine Learning and Statistics and Data Science departments, was honored by the Bernoulli Society for Mathematical Statistics and Probability with its New Researcher Award.

This year, the society recognized three scientists for their innovative contributions in the field of mathematical statistics. The award was announced this month at the ISI World Statistics Congress, where Ramdas was invited to give a prize lecture. Ramdas is the first from CMU to receive the award since it began in 2018.

Ramdas’ research applies statistics, data science, machine learning and artificial intelligence to solve problems in science and technology. He earned his Ph.D. from CMU and spent three years as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Berkeley, before joining the CMU faculty in 2018.
