Bruce G. Lindsay

Lindsay was born in 1947 in The Dalles, Oregon. He has earned a B.A. in mathematics from the University of Oregon in 1969 and a Ph.D. in biomathematics from the University of Washington in 1978.[1] Between his undergraduate and graduate studies he has served in the U.S. Coast Guard for four years during the Vietnam War.[2] He joined the Pennsylvania State University faculty in 1979, heading the Department of Statistics in 1998 - 2000 and 2006 - 2012, and rising to the rank of Eberly Chair in Statistics in 2012.[1] He was also a Visiting Professor at the Johns Hopkins University in 1987, the Yale University in 1990, and North Carolina State University in 2004-2005.[1] He was elected to be a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics in 1987, of the Guggenheim Foundation in 1996, and of the American Statistical Association in 1998.[1]
