Bin Yu is the recipient of the 2018 Emanuel and Carol Parzen Prize for Statistical Innovation, awarded by the Department of Statistics at Texas A&M University. Bin will visit Texas A&M on Thursday, September 5th to receive the award and give a lecture. Congratulations Bin on another impressive award!

The only other Berkeley recipient of the prize is David Brillinger (2002). 

"The Parzen Prize is awarded by the Department of Statistics at Texas A&M University and is selected by the members of the Parzen Prize Committee (consisting of three internal faculty members and two external faculty members). The prize consists of an honorarium of $1000 and travel to College Station, TX, to present a lecture at the Prize Ceremony. To promote the dissemination of statistical innovation, the Emanuel and Carol Parzen Prize for Statistical Innovation is awarded in even numbered years to a North American statistician whose outstanding research contributions include innovations that have had impact on practice and whose Ph.D degree is at least 25 years old."
