We are delighted to announce that the 2014 John Copas Prize in Statistics sponsored by the Faculty of Science for the most outstanding thesis amongst those eligible for the PhD Completion Award has been awarded to Lorna Barclay and Catalina Vallejos Meneses.

The panel awarding the Prize was very impressed by the quality of theses submitted and the decision between several excellent pieces of work this year was particularly difficult. Both Lorna and Catalina included material which led to several papers already published in very prestigious journals.

Congratulations to Catalina and Lorna!!
