Nathan Keyfitz Fellowship
Nathan Keyfitz was the leader of IIASA's Population Program from 1983 to 1991 and IIASA Deputy Director during 1992. Professor Keyfitz passed away on April 6, 2010, at the age of 96. Keyfitz was one of the giants of demography, developing the field of mathematical demography and, at IIASA, pioneering the application of demographic methods to other fields. Starting in 2012 with core funding from a bequest from Professor Keyfitz, IIASA established a Fellowship to fund one graduate student to participate in the IIASA Young Scientists Summer Program (YSSP) with the World Population Program. The IIASA Fund Board of Trustees has set a goal of $50,000 to fund the Nathan Keyfitz YSSP Population Fellowship for ten years.
2012 Nathan Keyfitz Fellowship Recipient
It has been a privilege to offer Sam Hyun Yoo, a young researcher from the United States, the opportunity to participate in the 2012 Young Scientists Summer Program (YSSP) with the World Population Program.
Sam is a PhD student in the School of Social and Family Dynamics, Center for Population Dynamics at Arizona State University with research interests in fertility in developed countries and core skills in statistical and demographic analysis and data management.
"Receiving the fellowship not only helped me to attend the Young scientists Summer Program, but also provided me a stepping-stone for academic success in demography. "
