Snehalata V. Huzurbazar is an American statistician, known for her work in statistical genetics, and also interested in applications of statistics to geology. [1] She is a professor of biostatistics, and chair of the biostatistics department, at the West Virginia University School of Public Health. [2]

Huzurbazar was born in Ames, Iowa. In 1984, she graduated from Grinnell College with an independently designed major that combined economics, history, sociology, and Spanish, [3] with a year off in Zagreb learning Croatian. [1] She earned a master's degree in economics from Vanderbilt University in 1988, with V. Kerry Smith as her advisor, and completed her Ph.D. in statistics in 1992 at Colorado State University. [3] Her dissertation, supervised by Ronald W. Butler, was Saddlepoint Approximations in Multivariate Analysis. [4] She joined the department of statistics of the University of Georgia in 1992, [3] moved to the University of Wyoming in 1995, [3] [2] was on leave there from 2012 to 2014 while working as deputy director of the Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, [3] [1] and moved to West Virginia University as chair in 2017. [2]

Huzurbazar is the daughter of noted Indian statistician V. S. Huzurbazar and the sister of noted statistician Aparna V. Huzurbazar, [5] whose husband, Brian J. Williams, is also a statistician. [1] All four are Fellows of the American Statistical Association; Snehalata was elected as a Fellow in 2017, her father in 1983, her sister in 2008, and Williams in 2015. [6]
