Eva Vedel Jensen

Eva Bjørn Vedel Jensen (born 14 June 1951) is a Danish mathematician and statistician known for her work in spatial statistics, stereology, stochastic geometry, and medical imaging.[1] She is a professor emeritus in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Aarhus University.[2]

Education and career

After earning a master's degree at Aarhus University in 1976,[1] she became a faculty member at the university in 1979. She completed a doctorate at Aarhus in 1987,[1][2] and became full professor there in 2003.[2]

Recognition

Vedel Jensen has been an Elected Member of the International Statistical Institute since 1992,[2][3] and is also a member of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters.[1][4]

She won the Villum Kann Rasmussen Annual Award for Technical and Scientific Research of the Villum Foundation in 2009. She was named a knight of the Order of the Dannebrog in 2010.[1][5] The University of Bern gave her an honorary doctorate in 2013.[5][6]

Selected publications

Vedel Jensen is the author of books including:

• Local Stereology (World Scientific, 1998)[7]
• Stereology for Statisticians (with Adrian Baddeley, Chapman & Hall/CRC, 2005)[8]
