The Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS) is pleased to announce Annie Qu as the 2025 IMS Carver Medal recipient. Professor Qu is the Chancellor’s Professor at the University of California, Irvine, and earns the award: “For excellent service to the IMS in several important dimensions, in particular, for outstanding contributions to the IMS by serving as Committee Chairs, IMS Program Secretary, and IMS Executive Committee member; for organizing IMS conferences, including the highly impactful ICSDS series; and for overall broad professional services.”

The IMS created the Carver Medal in 2002 in honor of Harry C. Carver, Founding Editor of the Annals of Mathematical Statistics and one of the Institute’s founders. The medal is for exceptional service specifically to the IMS and is open to any member who has not previously been elected President.
