Richard Mansfield Dudley (July 28, 1938 – January 19, 2020)[1] was Professor of Mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Education and career

Dudley was born in

MIT as a professor in mathematics, where he stayed from 1967 until 2015, when he retired.[2]

He died on January 19, 2020, following a long illness.[3]

Research

His work mainly concerned fields of probability,[4] mathematical statistics, and machine learning, with highly influential contributions to the theory of Gaussian processes and empirical processes. He published over a hundred papers in peer-reviewed journals and authored several books. His specialty was probability theory and statistics, especially empirical processes.[5] He is often noted for his results on the so-called Dudley entropy integral.[6][7][8] In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[9]
