Susan Ruth Wilson (19 March 1948[3] – 16 March 2020)[4] was an Australian statistician, known for her research in biostatistics and statistical genetics, and for her work on the understanding of AIDS in Australia.[pub 1][pub 2][pub 3] She edited the bulletin of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics from 1993 to 1998, and was president of the International Biometric Society from 1998 to 1999.[5]

Education and career

Wilson was born in Sydney.[3] She earned her Ph.D. in 1972 from Australian National University; her dissertation, supervised by P. A. P. Moran, was Some Statistical Results in Genetics.[2] She became a lecturer at the University of Sheffield, but in 1974 returned to Australia to take a position as research fellow at the Australian National University. She became a fellow there in 1976, and a senior fellow in 1984. In 1994, she was given a professorship in Statistical Science in the Centre for Mathematics and its Applications.[3] At her death, she was a professor emeritus of bioinformation science and statistical science at Australian National University[1] and also an honorary professor in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of New South Wales.[6]

Recognition

She was elected as a member of the International Statistical Institute in 1979, as a fellow of the American Statistical Association in 1991, as a fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics,[5] and as an honorary life member of the International Biometric Society in 2012.[7]
