Richard Samworth

I hold the Professorship of Statistical Science and am Director of the Statistical Laboratory, a sub-department of the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics. This is part of the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge. I am also a Teaching Fellow at St John's College, and run the Statistics Clinic for members of the university.

Recently, my EPSRC Early Career Fellowship, which ran for five years from 1 December 2012, was renewed for a further three years. I am also an Alan Turing Institute Turing Fellow.
