Abstract

. Gábor J. Székely was born in Budapest, Hungary on February 4, 1947. He graduated from Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) with an M.S. degree in 1970, and a Ph.D. degree in 1971. He received his Candidate Degree from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 1976, and the Doctor of Science Degree (D. Sc.) from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 1986. Székely joined the Department of Probability Theory of ELTE in 1970. In 1989 he became the founding chair of the Department of Stochastics of the Budapest Institute of Technology (Technical University of Budapest). In 1995 he moved to the United States as a tenured full professor at Bowling Green State University (BGSU) in Bowling, Green, Ohio. Before that, in 1990-91, he was the first Lukacs Distinguished Professor at BGSU. Székely had several visiting positions, e.g., at the University of Amsterdam in 1976 and at Yale University in 1989. Between 2006 and 2022 he served as a Program Director in the Statistics Program of the Division of Mathematical Sciences at the US National Science Foundation. Székely has about 250 publications, including 6 books in several lan-guages. In 1988 he received the Rollo Davidson Prize from Cambridge University, jointly with Imre Z.

与Gábor J.Székely的对话

Gábor J.Székely 1947年2月4日出生于匈牙利布达佩斯。1970年毕业于罗兰大学（ELTE），获得硕士学位，1971年获得博士学位。1976年，他获得匈牙利科学院的候选学位，1986年获得匈牙利科学学院的理学博士学位。Székely于1970年加入英语教学的概率论系。1989年，他成为布达佩斯理工学院（布达佩斯技术大学）斯多葛学系的创始主席。1995年，他移居美国，在俄亥俄州格林市鲍灵的鲍灵格林州立大学（BGSU）担任终身正教授。在此之前，在1990-91年，他是BGSU的第一位卢卡奇杰出教授。Székely曾担任过多个访问职位，例如1976年在阿姆斯特丹大学和1989年在耶鲁大学。2006年至2022年间，他担任美国国家科学基金会数学科学部统计项目主任。Székely出版了大约250种出版物，其中包括6本几种语言的书。1988年，他与Imre Z.Ruzsa共同获得了剑桥大学的罗洛-戴维森奖，以表彰他们在代数概率论方面的工作。2010年，Székely成为数理统计研究所的当选研究员，主要是因为他处理统计学中的物理概念，如能量统计和距离相关性。Székely是几次联合统计会议的特邀发言人，也是能源统计和距离相关性特邀会议的组织者。Székely是德国多特蒙德大学百年校庆和新泽西州普林斯顿高等研究所的特邀演讲人。根据谷歌学者的说法，他的出版物最近被引用的次数超过1200次/年。他有幸认识并与世界级数学家和
