Francesca Dominici
Francesca Dominici always loved mathematics and probability, but statistics was love at first sight because she could become an expert in different fields as long as there was data. Her studies have directly and routinely affected air quality policy and led to more stringent ambient air quality standards in the United States. For her contributions, she has earned the Janet Norwood Award for Outstanding Achievement by a Woman in the Statistical Sciences.
