The Bernoulli Society and Royal Statistical Society select a young researcher in alternate years to receive the David G. Kendall Award. The 2023 recipient is Qiyang Han, Assistant Professor at Rutgers University.

Qiyang Han was recognized for his outstanding contributions to, among other things, empirical process theory, nonparametric inference under shape constraints and asymptotics for multivariate models. Qiyang receives a prize of 2,000 Euros. Since this award is being given for contributions to mathematical statistics, he is also invited to give the Kendall Lecture at the 2024 RSS International Conference (which takes place September 2–5, 2024, in Brighton, UK: https://rss.org.uk/conference2024).

The David G. Kendall Award for Young Researchers is presented biannually to a young researcher who has made a significant contribution to the alternating fields of mathematical statistics or probability theory. David G. Kendall (1918–2007) was the first president of the Bernoulli Society and recipient of the RSS Guy Medal in Silver (1955) and in Gold (1981); he was elected an IMS Fellow in 1952.
