Haya Kaspi (born 6 October 1948)[1] is an Israeli operations researcher, statistician, and probability theorist. She is a professor emeritus of industrial engineering and management at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology.
Education and career
Kaspi was born in HaOgen. She earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1971, and a master's degree in applied mathematics at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology in 1974.[1] Next, she went to the US for her doctoral studies, completing a Ph.D. in operations research at Cornell University in 1979. Her dissertation, Ladder Sets of Markov Additive Processes, was supervised by N. U. Prabhu.[2]
After postdoctoral study at Princeton University, she returned to the Technion in 1980 as a lecturer. She was promoted to full professor in 1997.[1]
Recognition
In 2008, Kaspi was selected as a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics "for contributions to the general theory of Markov processes and its applications, to the theory of Markov local time; and for excellence in teaching and editorial work".[3] In 2011, Kaspi and Nathalie Eisenbaum shared the Itô Prize [fr] of the Bernoulli Society for Mathematical Statistics and Probability for their joint work on permanental point processes (processes whose joint intensity can be represented as a permanent).[4]
