| 1993 | Moran Medal |
| | Australian Academy of Science, Australia |
| | This award is made periodically (normally every two years) to a scientist 40 years of age or under for distinguished research carried out mainly in Australia in one or more of the fields of applied probability, biometrics, mathematical genetics, psychometrics and statistics. The citation read as follows:
“Dr Pollett has made outstanding contributions to Applied Probability Theory. He has worked for some years on problems concerning quasi-stationary distributions for random processes, and has solved the Vere-Jones conjecture about conditions for a large class of quasi-stationary measures to be -invariant. He has demonstrated exceptional skills with the tools of modern probability theory, and has applied those tools not only to solve deep theoretical problems, but also to elucidate important practical problems in a wide variety of areas, including parasitology, telecommunications and chemical kinetics. This combination of exceptional theoretical ability, and broad range of scientific interests, ensures Dr Pollett a place as the standard-bearer for a young generation of Australian Applied Probabilists.” |
