Professor Richard Allen Olshen began his illustrious career at Yale University under the guidance of L.J. Savage, where he completed his Ph.D in Statistics in 1966. He first came to Stanford in 1967. In 1975 he went to UC San Diego, where he was on the faculty in the Math Department until 1989, at which point he returned to Stanford first in the Department of Health Research and Policy and ultimately the Department of Biomedical Data Science. During his career he made the transition from mathematical statistics to cutting-edge applications. He has made strong contributions to tree-structured learning, gait analysis, digital radiography, and is currently working on problems in molecular genetics. The four speakers will highlight some of his research accomplishments during his storied career.
