Congratulations to Jonas Magdy Mikhaeil, Department of Statistics rising 4th year PhD student, on his 2025 Tom Ten Have Award. The Tom Ten Have Award is awarded at each ACIC to two early career researcher poster presenters for posters that exhibit exceptionally creative or skillful research on causal inference. Tom Ten Have, a professor of biostatistics at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, passed away in 2011 at the age of 53 from complications of multiple myeloma. To honor Tom’s passionate encouragement of early career causal inference researchers, the Tom Ten Have poster award was established in 2012. Tom made important contributions to causal inference in the areas of estimating the effect of receiving treatment in randomized trials with nonadherence and mediation analysis.
