Chris Heyde & Joe Gani Scholarship

The Chris Heyde & Joe Gani Scholarship has been established at the Australian National University to honour the memory of Professor Chris Heyde and Professor Joe Gani, who were well known for their substantial contributions to many areas of Probability, Statistics and Stochastic Analysis. The scholarship enables students to study and expand research into these fields. The scholarships are funded by interest on contributions from friends, colleagues, family and the ANU Endowment for Excellence. Two scholarships are offered annually, subject to funds being available. The award is available to ANU students enrolled in a PhD program who are undertaking research in areas of probability, statistical science or stochastic analysis. Applications must be submitted within twelve months of the recipient commencing their research program, and the award cannot be extended. Selection is made on the basis of academic merit and reports of academic referees.
