My father, Henry Wynn, who has died of cancer aged 79, was a professor of statistics at the London School of Economics for the past 20 years, and a former president of the Royal Statistical Society (RSS).
As a statistician, Henry played a key role in major advances in experimental design. These included the classical Wynn-Fedorov algorithm and the development of fundamental statistical formulations for the design of computer experiments that are now routinely used to study physical phenomena such as weather and the climate.
