In the video, you’ll hear from:
- Statistics Chair & Professor Bret Larget on the growth of the Data Science programs at UW–Madison, the value of Statistics as a field, and the future of the department.
- CDIS Director Remzi Arpaci-Dusseau on how Morgridge Hall will bring the department under one roof with the Department of Computer Sciences, the Information School and other, fostering new ideas and collaborations.
- Statistics Assistant Professors on their cutting-edge research, including:
- Jessi Cisewski-Kehe on the intersection of statistics and astronomy
- Sameer Deshpande on how data analytics are impacting the world of sports
- Ben Lengerich on data-driven AI models and the transformation of healthcare
Through this video, we were proud to share our growth, evolution and exciting future with all JSM attendees, including researchers at top statistics and data science programs around the world.
We look forward to representing UW–Madison at JSM for years to come!
