A symposium titled “New Frontiers in Reliability and Risk Analysis: A Tribute to Nozer D. Singpurwalla” will take place at The George Washington University October 13–14. This two-day meeting will commemorate the life and work of Nozer Singpurwalla by bringing together experts from the fields he helped shape.

The symposium will feature the following four plenary speakers who knew Nozer personally and reflect his diverse research interests:

• Jim Berger, Duke University
• Sallie Keller, US Census Bureau
• Way Kuo, City University of Hong Kong
• Jayaram Sethuraman, Florida State University

Former American Statistical Association President Barry Nussbaum—who is also one of Singpurwalla’s former doctoral students—will give the keynote address during the symposium banquet.

The meeting will likewise bring together young future researchers and national and international scholars with diverse disciplinary backgrounds to present and discuss current and emerging trends in disciplines such as reliability, risk analysis, Bayesian methods, time series analysis, decision theory, and foundations of statistics. Along with theoretical foundations affecting statistics, computer science, and mathematics, researchers can present applications regarding these topics in business, engineering, environmental studies, finance, and the health sciences.
