Not all professors can say they have a 320-page journal dedicated to them. Mir Masoom Ali, professor of statistics and mathematical sciences, can.
The Journal of Statistical Studies recently published a special issue commemorating Ali's 65th birthday. The issue features an article by the editor of the special volume along with 24 articles by leading statisticians. One article in Ali's tribute was written by Dale Umbach, chair of the mathematical sciences department.
Statisticians from Oxford University, the University of Toronto and the University of Iowa submitted letters of congratulations.
Ali joined the Ball State faculty in 1969 as an assistant professor. He was promoted to an associate professor in 1974 and four years later became a full professor.
His professional career began in 1957 on the Socio-Economic Board of the University of Dhaka in Bangladesh. He served as a statistician for Pakistani government until 1966. From there he became a teaching assistant at the University of Toronto until 1969. ++2'uD*F
