International Conference on Frontiers in Probability and Statistics: Celebrating the Distinguished Contributions of N. Balakrishnan on His 70th Birthday will be held June 11–13, 2026, in Xuzhou, China. The conference honors Professor Narayanaswamy Balakrishnan—one of the world’s most prolific and influential statisticians—whose scholarship, mentorship, and service have shaped modern statistical science. With more than 1,600 publications and numerous books, Professor Balakrishnan’s work spans order statistics, reliability, distribution theory, lifetime data analysis, multivariate methods, nonparametric inference, and computational statistics; his leadership has inspired generations of collaborators and students across academia and industry. This three-day event will gather leading researchers, collaborators, and early-career scholars to share cutting-edge advances, reflect on foundational contributions, and foster new collaborations across theory, methodology, and applications. The program will feature invited talks, thematic sessions connected to Professor Balakrishnan’s research agenda, and ample opportunities for networking and mentoring. We invite participants from the fields of probability, statistics, data science, engineering, and related disciplines to join us in celebrating a leading scholar whose ideas continue to drive innovation and impact. Xuzhou, a historic hub with modern amenities and convenient transportation links, offers an ideal setting for scholarly exchange and collegial community. Details on registration, abstract submission, invited speakers, travel information, and the full scientific program will be announced on the conference website in the coming months.
