Johannes Ledolter
August 26, 1950 – November 5, 2023
Robert Thomas Holmes Professor of Business Analytics
“Hannes” Ledolter joined the college in the late 1970s and enjoyed teaching statistics at all levels at Iowa and other prestigious universities in the U.S. and Austria. Ledolter’s academic curiosity led him to explore the world as an applied statistician when the field was just beginning. His collaborative research method was influenced by his mentor George Box, who taught him to let the real-world problem dictate the statistical method needed—or invent one yourself. He and his wife, Professor Lea VanderVelde, were a trailblazing duo on the UI campus, sustaining and propelling each other’s careers forward to great success. Ledolter authored more than 10 books and 150 papers, earning over 9,000 citations. He also received numerous awards over his more than 40-year career, including a William G. Hunter Award from the American Society for Quality, the Dean’s Teaching Award, an Executive MBA Great Instructor of the Year Award, and a Faculty Career Achievement Award.

He was a member of the Econometric Society and also served as the Department of Economics director of undergraduate studies, was an honors program advisor, and held a Henry B. Tippie Research Fellowship prior to his retirement in 2015.
