We are pleased to announce that Dr. Alex Luedtke has won the Raymond J Carroll Young Investigator Award for 2024. This award is presented by the Department of Statistics at Texas A&M University to an outstanding young researcher in statistical science. The winner will have demonstrated outstanding scholarly contributions in statistical methodology and applications. The award will be given during the conference on Statistical Methods for High-Dimensional Complex Data, to be held at the Hilton College Station & Conference Center on May 23 and 24. As part of the award presentation, Dr. Luedtke will be making a plenary presentation.
The Raymond J. Carroll Young Investigator Award was established to honor Dr. Raymond J. Carroll, Jill and Stuart A. Harlin ’83 Chair in Statistics, Distinguished Professor of Statistics, Nutrition and Toxicology, for his fundamental contributions in many areas of statistical methodology and practice, such as measurement error models, nonparametric and semiparametric regression, nutritional and genetic epidemiology. Carroll has been instrumental in mentoring and helping young researchers, including his own students and post-doctoral trainees, as well as others in the statistical community.
Dr. Carroll is highly regarded as one of the world’s foremost experts on problems of measurement error, functional data analysis, semiparametric methods and more generally on statistical regression modeling. His work, characterized by a combination of deep theoretical effort, innovative methodological development and close contact with science, has impacted a broad variety of fields, including marine biology, laboratory assay methods, econometrics, epidemiology and molecular biology.
