Marcos López de Prado, a visiting professor in Cornell Engineering’s School of Operations Research and Information Engineering, has received the Officer’s Cross of the Royal Order of Civil Merit, which represents a knighthood and one of Spain’s highest honors, in recognition of his “distinguished services to science and the global investment industry.”
The award was presented on behalf of King Felipe VI and the government of Spain by H.E. Íñigo de Palacio España, the Spanish ambassador to the United Arab Emirates, at a ceremony in Abu Dhabi on Nov. 21. Knights and Dames of the Order are appointed for their outstanding service to society. They are rewarded with certain legal privileges, such as a formal style of address, a heraldic achievement, a diploma and the use of insignia of the Order.
