Chakraborti Wins Fulbright, Second of Career

Acclaimed statistician Dr. Subha Chakraborti, the Robert C. & Rosa P. Morrow Faculty Excellence Fellow and professor in Culverhouse’s Department of Information Systems, Statistics, and Management Science has been awarded a Fulbright scholarship, the second one of his career.

The Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program offers teaching, research or combination teaching/research awards in over 125 countries. Dr. Chakraborti was selected by the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board to study and collaborate on statistics teaching and research projects in Brazil. The project was expected to start in the summer of 2020, but with the current coronavirus pandemic drastically affecting travel and in-person gatherings, those plans are now up in the air.
