Graham Cormode is awarded the Adams Prize for 2017
WDSI member Professor Graham Cormode is one of two joint winners of this year's Adams Prize, a prestigious award in the mathematical sciences made by the University of Cambridge. This year's Adams prize was awarded for research in Statistical Analysis of Big Data, and Graham shares the prize with Professor Richard Samworth of Cambridge.
As the announcement from Cambridge states:
Professor Cormode is a computer scientist who has made seminal contributions to algorithms used in the management and analysis of massive data sets, including the celebrated and widely used 'count-min sketch'
Previous winners of the Adams Prize have included Maxwell (1857), Jeffreys (1926), Hawking (1966), Penrose (1966), and our own David Hobson (2003).
Many congratulations to Graham on this significant recognition of his research!
