Regina Y. Liu is an American statistician. She is a distinguished professor of statistics and chair of the Department of Statistics and Biostatistics at Rutgers University.[1] Her research concerns robust statistics and nonparametric statistics, including the first formulation of simplicial depth.^[PNAS]^[AS90]

Liu earned her Ph.D. in statistics from Columbia University in 1983, under the supervision of John Raphael Van Ryzin,[2] and joined the Rutgers faculty at that time. She became a distinguished professor at Rutgers in 2001,[3] and department chair in 2005.[4]

Liu became a Fellow of the American Statistical Association in 2005.[5] She is also a fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics.[3]
