Jian-Jian Ren

Joan Jian-Jian Ren is a Chinese-American statistician whose research concerns survival analysis and longitudinal data analysis for biomedical applications. She is a professor of mathematics at the University of Maryland, College Park.[1]

Education and career

Ren grew up in Beijing, and majored in mathematics at Peking University,[1] graduating in 1982. After studying for a master's degree at the University of Montana,[2] she completed a Ph.D. in 1990 at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.[1] Her dissertation, On Hadamard Differentiability and M-Estimation in Linear Models, was supervised by Pranab K. Sen.[3]

After earning her Ph.D., Ren was on the faculty of the mathematics department at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln from 1990 to 1997.[4] She held positions at Tulane University and the University of Central Florida before moving to the University of Maryland in 2011.[1]

Recognition

Ren was named to the 2022 class of Fellows of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, for "innovative and significant contributions to statistical methodology, especially in nonparametric likelihood inference, survival analysis and resampling methods, and for long-lasting and dedicated professional service".[5]
