Assistant Professor Morris Ang has received the Bernoulli Society for Mathematical Statistics and Probability 2026 New Researcher Award in Probability Theory. The Bernoulli Society was founded in 1975 as a Section of the International Statistical Institute (ISI). Established in 1885, the ISI is one of the oldest scientific associations operating in the modern world.

The Bernoulli Society supports the advancement of the sciences of probability (including stochastic processes) and mathematical statistics and of their applications to all those aspects of human endeavour which are directed towards the increase of natural knowledge and the welfare of mankind.

Morris Ang received his Ph.D. from MIT in 2022. He then spent two years at Columbia University as a Junior Fellow of the Simons Society of Fellows before joining the faculty at UC San Diego in 2024. Ang’s research interests are in Probability Theory, especially random conformal geometry: Schramm‑Loewner evolution, Liouville quantum gravity, random planar maps, and conformal field theories.
