Miklós Csörgö, Professor of Mathematics and Statistics at Carleton University has made outstanding contributions of fundamental importance to probability theory and mathematical statistics, and in particular has played a major role in the development of strong approximation methods and invariance principles. Over the past several years he has applied these techniques to weighted quantile and empirical processes, empirical reliability and concentration processes, and has obtained deep results on the increment structure and local time of random walks and the Wiener process. He has published three books and over 100 papers and has been awarded a Killam Senior Research Scholarship.
