Andrea Montanari

Andrea Montanari has been named the Robert and Barbara Kleist Professor in the School of Engineering, and the Department of Statistics joins in congratulating him on this well-deserved honor. The Kleist Professorship was endowed in 1997 to honor a faculty member teaching and conducting research in information systems technology.

The Institute of Mathematical Statistics Committee on Fellows has selected their cohort of new Fellows, and we have learned that Professor Montanari will be on the list of honorees. Traditionally, the Fellows would be presented at the Presidential Address and awards session during the Joint Statistical Meetings.
