Kaustubh Adhikari named as a Royal Statistical Society Future Leader

Lecturer Kaustubh Adhikari has been named as one of the first cohort of twelve Future Leaders of the Royal Statistical Society.

The Royal Statistical Society describe the Future Leaders programme as follows.

With the aim of promoting strong leadership and mentors in the statistics and data professions – in all of their diversity – last year we secured funding from the Academy of Social Sciences for a programme that would welcome 15 career-young professionals from ethnic minority backgrounds into the RSS fold. We were inspired by the phrase ‘you cannot be what you cannot see’ and are excited to be able to support our Future Leaders in advocating for more diverse visibility and mentorship from within the structures of the Society.
