Carlo Cavicchia, Assistant Professor in statistics at the Econometric Institute, Erasmus School of Economics, has been awarded the IFCS Chikio Hayashi Award. The award was presented to him at the International Federation of Classification Societies (IFCS) conference held in Costa Rica in July of this year.
The IFCS Chikio Hayashi Award recognises promising early-career researchers who are presenting a paper at the bi-annual conference for their contributions to classification and data analysis. The award includes a 1000 dollar grant.
In his research, Cavicchia focuses on the methodological and computational aspects of data analysis and clustering. In 2023, he was awarded the Erasmus School of Economics starter grant to support his research initiatives. At the conference, he presented his paper “Nearest neighbors for mixed type data: an inter-dependency based approach,” co-authored with Michel van de Velden, Alfonso Iodice D’Enza, and Angelos Markos. Reflecting on the conference, Cavicchia noted the ‘high scientific level and a strong sense of community’ among the participants.
