Hadley Wickham is a statistician from New Zealand who is currently Chief Scientist at RStudio[1][2] and an adjunct Assistant Professor of statistics at Rice University.[3] He is best known for his development of open-source statistical analysis software packages for R (programming language) that implement logics of data visualisation and data transformation. Wickham received a Bachelors of Human Biology, and a B.Sc. and a M.Sc. in statistics at the University of Auckland in 1999–2004 and his PhD at Iowa State University in 2008 under the supervision of Di Cook and Heike Hoffman.[4][5] In 2006 he was awarded the John Chambers Award for Statistical Computing for his work developing tools for data reshaping and visualisation.[6]
He 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.[3][7] Wickham's data analysis packages for R are collectively known as the 'tidyverse'.[8] Wickham's packages and writing are known for advocating a 'tidy' approach to data import, analysis and modelling methods. According to Wickham's tidy approach, each variable should be a column, each observation should be a row, and each type of observational unit should be a table.[9]
He 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".[10]
