UNM Professor Vladimir Koltchinskii, mathematics and statistics, has been inducted as Fellow to the Institute of Mathematical Statistics. The IMS Medallion Award was presented to Koltchinskii for outstanding research on empirical processes, statistical theory of learning and multivariate statistics.
Koltchinskii received the award at the IMS annual meeting this past summer in Barcelona, Spain. As a recipient, Koltchinskii also delivered an IMS Medallion Lecture titled: Data Dependent Complexities and Oracle Inequalities in Learning Theory. Of 37 international nominees, 12 were selected for fellowship in 2004.
Kotchinskii earned a Ph.D. from Kiev University in the Ukraine in 1982. His research interests are in probability theory and mathematical statistics.
All full professors in mathematical statistics at UNM are now IMS Fellows or Fellows of the American Statistical Association, a distinction claimed by only a few U.S universities.
