Professor Miklos Racz will use his Howard B. Wentz, Jr. Junior Faculty Award, given by the School of Engineering and Applied Science, to fund his research in probability, statistics, and their applications, with a focus on problems in combinatorial statistics. For instance, a recent thrust of Miklos's research program centers on fundamental inference questions concerning correlated networks. The award will allow Miklos and his students to continue building the theoretical foundations of combinatorial statistics, to disseminate their results broadly, and to establish new collaborations.
