Charlotte Wickham is a statistician from New Zealand who is currently an assistant professor at Oregon State University.[1] She is known for her research on the surface air temperature of the earth, and for her work in education, both as a statistician at Oregon State, as well as an R (programming language) course instructor for the data science training website DataCamp.[2][3]
Life[edit]
Wickham received a B.Sc. in statistics at the University of Auckland in 2004 and her Ph.D. in statistics at University of California, Berkeley in 2011.[1] She is the sister of Hadley Wickham, the current Chief Scientist at RStudio.[4][5]
Work[edit]
Wickham was named a Fellow by the Society of Women Geographers in 2008, an honor given to about two hundred "young women studying for advanced degrees in geography or its allied sciences".[6][7] In 2015, Wickham came in first place as the data visualization winner of a competition sponsored by Dell EMC which challenged the data science community to help the EMC Corporation understand why famed John McGuinness (motorcycle racer) was so fast.[8]
At the 2019 Joint Statistical Meetings Data Art Show, Wickham exhibited a piece entitled Routes. In it she displayed geographical journeys in an abstract form by relating the columns of pixels in an image to locations along a journey, and coloring each column by a clustered view of the colors in a Google Street View image for the corresponding location.[9]
