Katerina Joanna Kechris is an American statistician, a professor of biostatistics and informatics in the Colorado School of Public Health, and a regional president of the International Biometric Society. Her research focuses on the use of omics data to study relations between genetics and disease.[1]
Education
[edit]Kechris graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1997, and completed a Ph.D. in statistics at the University of California, Berkeley in 2003.[2] Her dissertation, supervised by Peter J. Bickel, was Statistical Methods for Discovering Features in Molecular Sequences.[3] Before joining the Colorado School of Public Health, she did postdoctoral research with Hao Li at the University of California, San Francisco.[4]
Recognition
[edit]Kechris was elected regional president for the Western North American Region of the International Biometric Society for 2019.[5] She was selected to become a Fellow of the American Statistical Association in 2019, "for contributions to high-dimensional biological data analysis, team science and training and mentoring of students". [6][7] She served as Section Chair for the ASA Section on Statistics and Genomics and Genetics in 2021.
