Journals of the Bernoulli Society
Norris is Professor of Stochastic Analysis and Director of the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. He is also Director of the Cambridge Centre for Analysis. He received his PhD in 1985 from the University of Oxford. After a year in the University College of Swansea, he moved to Cambridge in 1985. He is a Fellow of Churchill College and a Trustee of the Rollo Davidson Trust.
He is Associate Editor for Probability Theory and Related Fields, Potential Analysis and ESAIM Probability and Statistics. He was main organizer of the 27th Conference on Stochastic Processes and their Applications, held at Cambridge in 2001, and was coorganizer of the Isaac Newton Institute programme on Interaction and Growth in Complex Stochastic Systems in 2003.

He is author of the text Markov Chains (Cambridge University Press, 1997). He was awarded the Rollo Davidson Prize in 1997. His research interests include: Malliavin calculus, analysis of heat kernels, scaling limits for random processes, and models of coagulation and aggregation.
David Ruppert is Andrew Schulz Jr. Professor of Engineering, School of Operations Research and Information Engineering, and Professor of Statistical Science, Cornell University. He received a BA in Mathematics from Cornell University in 1970, an MA in Mathematics from the University of Vermont in 1973, and a PhD in Statistics and Probability from Michigan State University in 1977. He was Assistant and then Associate Professor of Statistics at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, from 1977 to 1987. He is a Fellow of the ASA and IMS and received the Wilcoxon Prize in 1986. He has had 23 PhD students, many of them now leading researchers.
Professor Ruppert has worked on stochastic approximation, transformations and weighting in regression, and smoothing. His current research focuses on measurement error models, splines, semi-parametric regression, and environmental statistics.
He has published over 100 articles in refereed journals and has published several books, Transformation and Weighting in Regression, Measurement Error in Nonlinear Models (first and second editions), Semiparametric Regression, and Statistics and Finance: An Introduction. He is currently working on a second edition to Statistics and Finance.

Julia Brettschneider is a lecturer at the Department of Statistics at the University of Warwick. She primarily works on statistical methodology for high-dimensional molecular data (e.g. microarrays) and on risk communication related to genomic tests. Before coming to Warwick she hold positions at Eurandom, the University of California in Berkeley and Queen's University in Ontario. She holds a Diplom in Mathematics from the University of Bonn with a thesis about measure-valued branching processes supervised by Hans Foellmer. Her Ph.D. in Mathematics from Humboldt University Berlin was done with the same supervisor on a topic about large deviations in the phase transition regime.

The Bernoulli Society for Mathematical Statistics and Probability was founded in 1975 as a Section of the International Statistical Institute (ISI). The objectives of the Bernoulli Society are the advancement of the sciences of probability (including stochastic processes) and mathematical statistics and of their applications to all those aspects of human endeavour which are directed toward the increase of natural knowledge and the welfare of mankind.
Among the activities of the Bernoulli Society are organizing, supporting or sponsoring international meetings and publications on its own or jointly with other professional societies that further the objectives and interests of the Society.
The Bernoulli Society has two official journals; Bernoulli and Stochastic Processes and Their Applications (Elsevier). In addition, the Society cosponsors the following open access online publications: Electronic Communications in Probability, Electronic Journal of Probability, Electronic Journal of Statistics, Probability Surveys and Statistics Surveys.
Published twice a year, Bernoulli News (BNews) provides detailed information about activities and initiatives of the Society. In addition, Bernoulli Society contributes to the ISI Newsletter where a broad overview of ISI activities and additional information of interest to statisticians can be found.
Some of the international meetings organized or sponsored by the Bernoulli Society are the World Congress in Probability and Statistics every four years, the Conference on Stochastic Processes and their Applications (SPA) organized every year (except the years of the Bernoulli Society World Congress), ISI World Statistics Congress (formerly ISI Session), European Meeting of Statisticians (EMS) organized every year, and the Latin American Congress in Probability and Mathematical Statistics (CLAPEM) organized every two or three years. The Elsevier journal Stochastic Processes and Their Applications sponsors the Itô Prize and the Lévy Lecture.
