Yoav Benjamini, the Nathan and Lily Silver Professor of Applied Statistics at Tel Aviv University in Israel, will be speaking in a special session organized by the International Statistics Institute (ISI) and where he will receive the 2019/2020 Pearson Prize which "recognizes a contemporary research contribution, published within the last three decades, that has had profound influence on statistical theory, methodology, practice, or applications". In Yoav's case, the award will honor his work with colleague Yosi Hochberg (deceased in 2013) on the False Discovery Rate (FDR). Their 1995 paper, cited more than 50,000 times, has become a central element in the analysis pipeline for very high dimensional data, especially in the area of genomics.
