Xiaofeng Wang appointed 2023 American Statistical Association Fellow
The Department of Quantitative Health Sciences (QHS) is pleased to announce that Xiaofeng Wang, PhD, has been elected as a 2023 Fellow of the American Statistical Association (ASA).
The ASA is the world’s largest community of statisticians and is the second-oldest continuously operating professional association in the country. The designation of ASA Fellow has been a significant honor for over 100 years. Under ASA bylaws, only one-third of one percent of the total association membership may be elected as fellows each year. Fellows are evaluated on their contributions to the advancement of statistical science, the impact of their published works, their position with their employer and activities with the ASA and other professional societies. “To be honored, nominees must have an established reputation in the profession and have made outstanding contributions to statistical science,” the ASA says.
Dr. Wang's citation by the Committee on Fellows reads, “for outstanding scholarly contributions to the methods and applications in the areas of quantitative imaging analysis, clinical data modeling, and approximate Bayesian inference; for significant contributions to collaborative research in medicine”.
