Kathryn M. Roeder is an American statistician known for her development of statistical methods to uncover the genetic basis of complex disease and her contributions to mixture models, semiparametric inference, and multiple testing.[1] Roeder holds positions as professor of statistics and professor of computational biology at Carnegie Mellon University,[2] where she leads a project focused on discovering genes associated with autism.[3][4]
Education and career
Roeder did her undergraduate studies at the University of Idaho, where she graduated in 1982 with a bachelor's degree in wildlife resources.[2] Roeder worked as a biologist for a year in the Pacific Northwest before returning to academia for graduate studies in statistics.[3] She completed her Ph.D. in 1988 at Pennsylvania State University;[2][3] her dissertation, supervised by Bruce G. Lindsay, was Method of Spacings for Semiparametric Inference.[5]
Roeder joined the faculty of Yale University in 1988 and earned tenure there. She remained at Yale until 1994, when she moved to the statistics department at Carnegie Mellon. She added a second appointment in computational biology in 1998, and served a term as Vice Provost for Faculty from 2015 to 2019.[2]
Recognition
In 1995 Roeder became an elected member of the International Statistical Institute.[2] She was elected a
