JEDI
Dooti Roy
Dooti Roy spent her weekends as a child in Kolkata working on puzzles and combinatorics and reading storybooks. She was introduced to statistics when she was 16 and enjoyed it so much that she earned a graduate fellowship to pursue her PhD in the US. Today, she works as a methodologist at Boehringer Ingelheim, Inc., where her days are spent learning, researching, and implementing statistical methods to make clinical trials more efficient. Even though her job is challenging, she learns constantly and solves meaningful and complex problems to help patients in need. Recently, she has been mentoring younger statisticians and actively volunteers her time on several ASA committees, including the Antiracism Task Force.
