Jianqing Fan is the Frederick L. Moore Professor at Princeton University. After receiving his Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley, he was appointed a professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (1989-2003), the University of California at Los Angeles (1997-2000), Chinese University of Hong Kong (2000-2003) and Princeton University (2003-present). A past president of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and International Chinese Statistical Association, he is currently a co-editor of the Journal of Business and Economics Statistics and a former co-editor of Annals of Statistics, Probability Theory and Related Fields, and Journal of Econometrics. His published work on statistics, economics, finance, and computational biology has been recognized with the 2000 COPSS President's Award, the 2007 Morningside Gold Medal of Applied Mathematics, Guggenheim Fellowship, P.L. Hsu Prize, Guy medal, Noether Senior Scholar Award. He is also member of the Academia Sinica, IMS, ASA, AAAS and SoFiE.
