Alanna Connors
Alanna Connors (1956–2013) was a Hong Kong-born American astronomer and statistician known for her introduction and advocacy of Bayesian statistics in high-energy astronomy , and for her early use of the Python programming language in astronomy.[1]
Connors was the daughter of an airplane pilot for Pan Am ; she was born in Hong Kong, where her father was based,[2] Greenwich, Connecticut as a child. She majored in physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology , graduating in 1978, and completed a Ph.D. in astronomy and physics in 1988 at the University of Maryland, College Park . Her doctoral research, conducted at NASA 's Goddard Space Flight Center , concerned X-ray transients . Her later career included work as a researcher at the University of New Hampshire 's Space Science Center and as visiting faculty at Wellesley College , working with data from the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory .[1]
She was a founder of the California-Harvard Astrostatistics Collaboration (CHASC), in 1997, and through it she became "a driving force of CHASC’s education mission and outreach effort, helping statisticians understand science and scientists understand statistics".[3]
She died of breast cancer on February 2, 2013.[1] [2] [3]
