Huixia Judy Wang is a statistician who works as a professor of statistics at George Washington University. Topics in her research include quantile regression and the application of biostatistics to cancer.[1]

Education and career

[edit]

Wang graduated from Fudan University in 1999 and earned a master's degree from Fudan in 2002. She completed her Ph.D. in statistics in 2006 from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign.[1] Her dissertation, Inference on Quantile Regression for Mixed Models with Applications to GeneChip Data, was supervised by Xuming He.[2] She joined the statistics faculty at North Carolina State University in 2006 and moved to George Washington University in 2014.[1] From 2018, she has been serving as program director for the Statistics Program at the National Science Foundation.[3]

Recognition

[edit]

In 2012, the Institute of Mathematical Statistics gave Wang their Tweedie New Researcher Award.[4] In 2018, Wang was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association[5] and of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS), "for fundamental and influential contributions to the theory and methodology of quantile regression, high dimensional inference and extreme value theory; for outstanding services to the community".[6] She has been awarded an IMS Medallion Lectureship in 2022.[7]
