Sourav Chatterjee (born November 1979)[1] is a mathematician, specializing in mathematical statistics and probability theory. Chatterjee is credited with work on Stein's method on spin glasses and also the Universality of Lindeberg principle. For these achievements, he was awarded a Sloan Fellowship in 2007 from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation[2] and the Tweedie New Researcher Award in 2008 from the Institute of Mathematical Statistics.[3]

Career

Chatterjee received a Bachelor and Master of Statistics from Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, and a Ph.D from Stanford University in 2005, where he worked under the supervision of Persi Diaconis.[4] Chatterjee joined University of California, Berkeley, as a Visiting Assistant Professor, then received a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in 2006. In July 2009 he became an Associate Professor of Statistics and Mathematics at University of California, Berkeley. Then in September 2009, Chatterjee became an Associate Professor of Mathematics at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University.[5] He spent the academic year 2012-2013 as a Visiting Associate Professor of Mathematics and Statistics at Stanford University. Since autumn 2013 he has joined the faculty of Stanford University as a full professor with joint appointments in the departments of Mathematics and Statistics.[6]

He is also an associate editor of Annals of Probability, since January 2009, and Annales de l'Institut Henri Poincaré (B) Probabilities et Statistiques, since January 2008.[5][7][8]

  3. ↑ 2008 Tweedie Award: Marina Vannucci, chair of the IMS Travel Awards Committee remarked, “The decision of the Committee was unanimous. Sourav Chatterjee has made striking extensions of classical ideas of Lindeberg and Charles Stein in the spirit of Talagrand’s concentration inequalities, leading to improved inequalities in a broad range of topics from spin glasses and random matrices to estimation of effective dimension of i.i.d. high-dimensional data.”
