Weaver elected fellow by American Statistical Association
Group leader helps advance statistical methods in national security science
Researcher Brian Weaver, of the Computer, Computational and Statistical Sciences division at Los Alamos National Laboratory, has been elected a fellow of the American Statistical Association for his distinguished service and commitment to advancing the field.
The ASA is the world’s largest community of statisticians and data scientists, with members located across industry, government and academia in more than 90 countries. The newly elected fellows will be recognized at the Joint Statistical Meetings in Nashville in August.
What he did: Weaver was selected “for exemplary leadership in the development of statistical methods in national security science, for major collaborations that have advanced the physical sciences, and for sustained impact on the ASA through a dedicated history of strategic service.”
Of note:
- Weaver leads the Statistical Sciences group (CCS-6), which is involved in a wide range of science, technology and engineering projects supporting national and global security missions.
- He has researched using artificial intelligence and machine learning to support weapons, space physics, planetary science and nuclear safeguards.
- He received his doctorate in statistics from Iowa State University.
