Sündüz Keleş is a Turkish-American statistician specializing in statistical methods in genomics.[1] She is a professor of statistics and of biostatistics and medical informatics at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.[2] Her research has included the development of the FreeHi-C system for generating synthetic Hi-C (all-versus-all chromosome conformation capture) data.[1]

Keleş studied industrial engineering at Bilkent University, but became interested in statistics after working there on a project involving survival analysis. She then moved to the University of California, Berkeley for graduate study, working with Mark van der Laan on biostatistics.[1] She completed her Ph.D. there in 2003,[3] and took her faculty position at Wisconsin after completing her doctorate, with a delay of a year to do postdoctoral research on microarray analysis techniques with van der Laan and Sandrine Dudoit.[1]

Keleş was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association in 2023.[4]
