Education

Levina completed her undergraduate studies in mathematics at Saint Petersburg State University in Russia in 1994. After earning a master's degree in mathematics from the University of Utah in 1997, she completed her Ph.D. in statistics in 2002 from the University of California, Berkeley.[3] Her dissertation, supervised by Peter J. Bickel, was Statistical Issues in Texture Analysis.[4] She joined the University of Michigan faculty after completing her Ph.D., in 2002.[2]

Recognition

Levina received the American Statistical Association Gottfried E. Noether Young Scholar Award in 2010 for her contributions to nonparametric statistics.[5]

She was elected to the International Statistical Institute in 2011.[1] In 2016, she was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association[6] and as a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS).

She was awarded the Vijay Nair Collegiate Professorship in 2017.[7]

She is an invited speaker at the 2018 International Congress of Mathematicians, speaking in the section on Probability and Statistics.[8][9] She has been chosen as a 2019 Medallion Lecturer for the IMS.[10]
