In July, distinguished Indian-American mathematician and statistician Calyampudi Radhakrishna Rao will be awarded the 2023 International Prize in Statistics, equivalent to the Nobel Prize in the field, for his remarkable work that revolutionized statistical thinking.Rao will be granted the award and along with $80,000 in cash at the biennial International Statistical Institute World Statistics Congress in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.C.R. Rao's Impressive WorkAge is no bar for 102-year-old Professor Calyampudi Radhakrishna Rao, who continues to have a profound influence on science.Touted as a "living legend," Rao's research formed the foundation of the statistics field, and he introduced tools that have helped scientists extract information from data. Rao also pioneered a new interdisciplinary field that has flourished as “information geometry” that is helping in research on radars and antennas, and has contributed significantly to advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), data science, signal processing, image segregation, economics, genetics, anthropology, geology, national planning, demography, biometry, and medicine.
