Professor Kanti Mardia has been awarded an OBE for services to statistical science.
Professor Kanti Mardia’s work is at the forefront of medical imaging research. Currently a Senior Research Professor in the School of Mathematics, he was previously Chair of Applied Statistics – a position he had held since joining the University in 1973.
I have been very fortunate to work at two great universities – Leeds for 50 years as a full Professor and for the last 10 years with Oxford.
I am grateful to my PhD students, Research Fellows, colleagues and collaborators who work together to make such a large and successful statistical community here in Leeds, and more widely across the UK and internationally.
