Marina Vannucci
Marina Vannucci was recognized early in her career with the Italian Statistical Society’s prize for “Best Doctoral Thesis in Statistics.” The prize gave her confidence in her abilities as a researcher and launched her professional career in academia. Now, as a professor, she savors advising students and watching them grow into independent researchers. Service is another aspect of her professional career she enjoys and she never shies away from challenging roles. She is particularly proud of her work as editor-in-chief of Bayesian Analysis and editor of the Journal of the American Statistical Association, Theory & Methods section.
