American biostatistician
Daniela M. Witten is an Americanbiostatistician . She is a professor and theDorothy Gilford Endowed Chair of Mathematical Statistics at theUniversity of Washington .[ 4] [ 5] machine learning to understandhigh-dimensional data .[ 1]
Early life and education [ edit ] Witten studied mathematics and biology atStanford University , graduating in 2005. She remained there for her postgraduate research, earning a master's degree in statistics in 2006.[ 6] [ 7] American Statistical Association Gertrude Mary Cox Scholarship in 2008.[ 8] A penalized matrix decomposition, and its applications was supervised byRobert Tibshirani .[ 2] [ 9] [ 10] Trevor Hastie on canonical correlation analysis.[ 11] An Introduction to Statistical Learning in 2013.[ 3]
Research and career [ edit ] Witten applies statistical machine learning to personalised medical treatments and decoding the genome.[ 12] neuroscience andgenomics .[ 13] [ 14]
She was appointed to theUniversity of Washington as Genentech Endowed Professor in 2010.[ 15] Evolution of Translational Omics , which provided best practise in translatingomics research into a clinic.[ 16] [ 17]
She is an associate editor for theJournal of the American Statistical Association [ 18]
She was elected as aFellow of the American Statistical Association in 2020.[ 19] Institute of Mathematical Statistics , for "substantial contributions to the field of statistical machine learning, with applications to biology; and for communicating the fundamental ideas in the field to a broad audience".[ 20]
She was awarded an NIH Director's Early Independence Award in 2011.[ 21] American Statistical Association David P. Byar Young Investigator Award for her workPenalized Classification Using Fisher’s Linear Discriminant in 2011.[ 22] An Introduction to Statistical Learning won aTechnometrics [ 23] Elle magazineGenius Award in 2012.[ 24] Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Fellowship.[ 25] Forbes 30 Under 30 Science & Healthcare category in 2012, 2013 and 2014.[ 26] [ 27] [ 28] Texas A&M University Raymond J. Carroll Young Investigator Award.[ 29] Simons Foundation Investigator,[ 30] COPSS Presidents' Award .
Daniela is the younger sister ofIlana B. Witten , the older sister of Rafael Witten, and the daughter of the physicistsChiara Nappi andEdward Witten .[ 31] [ 32] [ 33]
