Julian Besag (1945-) is an Emeritus Professor in the Department of Statistics at the University of Washington. He was born in Loughborough in the United Kingdom. As of 2010[update], he is a visiting professor at the University of Bath.
He is known chiefly for his work in spatial statistics (including its applications to epidemiology, image analysis and agricultural science), and Bayesian inference (including Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms).
Besag is an ISI highly cited researcher; his 1986 paper On the Statistical Analysis of Dirty Pictures was the most cited paper by a UK mathematical scientist in the 1980s. The Royal Statistical Society awarded him its Guy Medal in Silver in 1983 for his contributions to spatial statistics, and he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2004.
