Hadley Alexander Wickham (born 14 October 1979) is a statistician from New Zealand and Chief Scientist at RStudio Inc.[1][4][5][6] and an adjunct Professor of statistics at the University of Auckland,[7] Stanford University,[8] and Rice University.[9] He is best known for his development of open-source software for the R statistical programming language for data visualisation, including ggplot2,[3] and other tidyverse packages, which support a tidy data approach to data science.[10][11][12]

Education

Wickham received a Bachelors degree in Human Biology and a masters degree in statistics at the University of Auckland in 1999–2004 and his PhD at Iowa State University in 2008 supervised by Di Cook and Heike Hofmann.[2][13]

Career and research

Wickham is a prominent and active member of the R user community and has developed several notable and widely used packages including ggplot2, plyr, dplyr, and reshape2.[9][14] Wickham's data analysis packages for R are collectively known as the tidyverse.[15] According to Wickham's tidy data approach, each variable should be a column, each observation should be a row, and each type of observational unit should be a table.[16]

Honors and awards

In 2006 he was awarded the John Chambers Award for Statistical Computing for his work developing tools for data reshaping and visualisation.[17] Wickham was named a Fellow by the American Statistical Association in 2015 for "pivotal contributions to statistical practice through innovative and pioneering research in statistical graphics and computing".[18] Wickham was awarded the international COPSS Presidents' Award in 2019 for "influential work in statistical computing, visualisation, graphics, and data analysis" including "making statistical thinking and computing accessible to a large audience".[19]
