I am a tenured Full Professor in the Department of Biostatistics at the University of Florida. I was hired in the fall of 2015 under the UF Pre-eminence in the area of Metabolomics. I was elected to the International Statistical Institute in 2010. In 2012, then I became a Fellow of the American Statistical Association, and in 2014 I was elected as a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science “for my distinguished contributions to methodological and collaborative research in bioinformatics, computational biology, and biostatistics, and for student training and promoting women in STEM fields”. I have done my undergraduate studies in physics at the University of Calcutta, earning a bachelor’s degree there in 1986.[1] I began a master’s program in physics at Michigan State University, and was led to statistics both by a probability course I took there and by the better job prospects for graduates in statistics. Having to move to the University of Georgia because of family reasons, I earned a master’s degree in applied statistics there in 1990 and then a Ph.D. in 1995. My dissertation, supervised by Jonathan Arnold, was Dynamics of Cytonuclear Disequilibria and Related Statistical Tests for The Neutrality of Mitochondrial DNA markers for Hybrid Zone Data. After postdoctoral research at Emory University, I joined the Georgia State University faculty in 1997. In 2005 she moved to the University of Louisville. There I became Graduate Program Director for Bioinformatics and Biostatistics in 2012, and Distinguished University Scholar in 2013. In 2015 I moved again, to the University of Florida, as part of a hiring initiative there for researchers in metabolomics.
I served as president of the Caucus for Women in Statistics in 2013. I also popular for my repertoire of Bengali folk songs. In recent years, 2021-2022 I produced three original ghazal singles and a fusion music with the music composed by Mr. Rajarshi Sear. In 2020, I produced three Thumri singles by Musiana Collectives. Before that I published two CDS by Asha Audio Nirvana (Sufi) and Bristi Badol Jhwar (Bengali modern songs). They were original music compositions by renowned tabla player Pt. Subhen Chatterjee. Two of my albums were of Najrul Geetees and the music was arranged by Pt. Debojyoti Bose. In 2017, Asha Audio has produced an album of hers “Bristi Badol Jhwar” in modern Bengali Songs.
Music & Science are my passion!
