Professor Lucas Janson Receives 2024 Noether Early Career Scholar Award

We are thrilled to report that Associate Professor Lucas Janson has received the 2024 American Statistical Association (ASA) Noether Early Career Scholar Award due to his exceptional work on "nonparametric methodology for statistical inference on data that is high-dimensional or adaptively collected" (source: Award Citation).  The methods he employs help scientists to use machine learning with statistical inference that ensures nonparametric validity by design.  Prof. Janson will receive his award and give a talk at the Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM) in August 2024 in Portland, Oregon.

The Noether awards started in 1999 in honor of Gottfried Emanuel Noether, a leading scholar in nonparametric statistics and a talented teacher.  The Noether Early Career Scholar Award is given annually to recognize the outstanding work of a young researcher and to encourage the work of future generations in nonparametric statistics research and teaching.
