Education and career

[edit]

Thompson studied at Newnham College, Cambridge, earning first-class honours in the mathematical tripos in 1970 and completing a diploma in mathematical statistics in 1971.[1] She continued at Cambridge for graduate studies, earning a Ph.D. in statistics in 1974 under the supervision of A. W. F. Edwards.[1][4]

After postdoctoral studies at Stanford University she returned to Cambridge as a lecturer in mathematics and mathematical statistics and fellow of King's College, Cambridge. She became a fellow of Newnham in 1981. She moved to the Department of Statistics at the University of Washington in 1985, and added a joint appointment to the Department of Biostatistics in 1988. She became a U.S. citizen in 1997.[1]

Awards and honors
