Austin Bradford Hill (1897-1991), a famous English epidemiologist and statistician in the 20th century. He has formally established a randomized controlled method, set up several early research methods for randomized clinical trial, and together with Richard Doll, demonstrated the connection between cigarette smoking and lung cancer. Meanwhile, Hill is widely known for pioneering the "Bradford Hill" criteria for determining a causal association. His work not only promoted the development of epidemiology and statistics, but also promoted the progress of medicine.
