CfS Seminar: Professor Subhashis Ghoshal

Subhashis Ghoshal is a Goodnight Distinguished Professor of Statistics at North Carolina State University, Raleigh. His research interests span many areas including Bayesian statistics, asymptotics, nonparametrics and high dimensional models, with diverse applications. In particular, his pioneering work on concentration of posterior distributions led to theoretical understanding of nonparametric Bayesian procedures. He was honoured with fellowship from the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (2006), American Statistical Association (2010) and  International Society for Bayesian Analysis (2016). He has received several awards, including the IMS Medallion lecture (2017), NSF Career Award (2003), Sigma-Xi Research Award (2004), International Indian Statistical Association Young Researcher Award (2007) and Cavell Brownie Mentoring Award (2015). He was awarded  De Groot Prize for the best book on Statistical Science in 2019 given by the International Society for Bayesian Analysis for the book “Fundamentals of Nonparametric Bayesian Inference” (co-author: Aad van der Vaart), published by Cambridge University Press, 2017.

 

In July-August 2025 Professor SUBHASHIS Ghoshal will be visiting the UK as a Distinguished Rothschild Visiting Fellow at the Isaac Newton Institute, University of Cambridge.
