A recent gift to Northwestern will create a new endowed chair in the Department of Mathematics — the Madan Lal Puri Professorship.
The chair will be named for Madan Lal Puri, the Indiana University College of Arts and Sciences Distinguished Research Scholar and Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at Indiana University.
Madan Lal Puri is considered one of the world’s most versatile and prolific researchers in mathematical statistics. His research areas include nonparametric statistics, order statistics, limit theory under mixing, time series, splines, tests of normality, generalized inverses of matrices and related topics, stochastic processes, statistics of directional data, random sets, and fuzzy sets and fuzzy measures.
