Sylvia Therese Richardson

CBE FMedSci is a French/British Bayesian statistician and is currently Professor of Biostatistics and Director of the MRC Biostatistics Unit at the University of Cambridge.[1] In 2021 she became the president of the Royal Statistical Society for the 2021–22 year.[2]

Education

Richardson completed her PhD at the

Doctorat d'État for a thesis entitled "Processus spatialement dépendants: convergence vers la normalité, tests d'association et applications" in 1989.[5]

Career

Richardson has been the

University of Paris V.[6]

She is co-editor of the volume Markov Chain Monte Carlo in Practice with Wally Gilks and David Spiegelhalter.

Research

Richardson has made significant contributions to Bayesian statistical methodology and the application of Markov chain Monte Carlo. Her expertise is in spatial statistics with applications to geographic epidemiology and in biostatistics with applications in biochemical modeling, in particular modeling of gene expression data.

Recognition

Richardson was awarded the Guy Medal of The Royal Statistical Society in Silver in 2009.[7] She is also a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics,[8] of the International Society for Bayesian Analysis[9] and of the Academy of Medical Sciences.[10]

She was appointed

Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2019 Birthday Honours for services to medical statistics.[11]
