Vera Pawlowsky-Glahn is a Spanish mathematician. She is currently a full professor at the Departament d'Informàtica, Matemàtica Aplicada, i Estadística at the Universitat de Girona, Spain. Her main areas of research interest include statistical analysis of compositional data,^[3] algebraic-geometric approach to statistical inference,^[4] and spatial cluster analysis.^[5] She was the president of the International Association for Mathematical Geosciences (IAMG) during 2008–2012. IAMG awarded her the William Christian Krumbein Medal in 2006 ^[6] and the John Cedric Griffiths Teaching Award in 2008.^[7] In 2007, she was selected IAMG Distinguished Lecturer.^[8]
During the 6th International Workshop on Compositional Data Analysis in June 2015, Vera was appointed president of a commission to formalize the creation of an international organization of scientists interested in the advancement and application of compositional data modeling.^[9]
