Jun Zhu is a statistician and entomologist who works as a professor in the Departments of Statistics and Entomology at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.[1] Her research interests involve the analysis of spatial data and spatio-temporal data, and the applications of this analysis in environmental statistics.[2]

After earning a bachelor's degree from Knox College (Illinois) in mathematics and computer science in 1994, Zhu moved to Johns Hopkins University, where she earned a master's degree in mathematical sciences in 1995. She completed her Ph.D. in statistics at Iowa State University in 2000.[1][2] Her dissertation, Asymptotic Inference for Spatial Cumulative Distribution Function, was jointly supervised by Soumendra Nath Lahiri and Noel Cressie.[3]

Zhu serves on the Human Studies Review Board of the United States Environmental Protection Agency.[4] In 2012 she chaired the American Statistical Association's Section on Statistics and the Environment.[5] In 2015 she was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association,[6] and the Section on Statistics and the Environment gave her their Distinguished Achievement Medal.[7]
