StatML 4-year cohort-based doctoral programme is happy to announce that the programme is welcoming applications for entry in fall of 2024! Join the next generation of researchers in stats and statistical ML! statml.io/index.php/how-…

A new major study by Dr Oliver Ratmann and PhD students Melodie Monod, Andrea Brizzi, Yu Chen and Shozen Dan has been published in Nature Microbiology. Congratulations to the entire team! nature.com/articles/s4156…

Multinational team, incl @JohnsHopkinsSPH & @HopkinsMedicine @JHUPath & @JHMed_ID, suggests in @NatureMicrobiol study (bit.ly/3RatQRT) that programs to increase #HIV suppression in African men are critical to reduce incidence in women, close incidence gender gap there.

A paper entitled "On inference in high-dimensional regression" by Heather Battey and Nancy Reid @reid_nancy has recently been published in Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series B: academic.oup.com/jrsssb/article…

The Statistics Section would like to welcome Mario @cortina_borja, Professor of Biostatistics, UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health as Visiting Professor. Mario is an applied statistician and has worked in many scientific areas but mostly in paediatric epidemiology.

The Statistics Section welcomes Professor Guosheng Yin, Chair in Statistics to Imperial College. His research interests are in Clinical trial methodologies, Bayesian adaptive design, Biostatistics, Bayesian methods, Survival analysis, Change-point analysis, and Machine learning.

Imperial College PhD graduate Dr Scott Ward, together with Dr Heather Battey and Dr Ed Cohen @eakcohen have recently published a paper in Biometrika: Nonparametric estimation of the intensity function of a spatial point process on a Riemannian manifold academic.oup.com/biomet/advance…

Professor Philip A. Ernst, Chair in Statistics and Royal Society Wolfson Fellow at Imperial College London, has been awarded a prestigious 2023 Lebesgue Chair. 2023 Lebesgue Chair award imperial.ac.uk/news/243252/20…

Six universities are partnering with @BT, @ONS, @Microsoft and others in a new research programme to develop new ways of modelling and analysis of complex datasets: orlo.uk/Y2z5q @UniofBath @BristolUni @imperialcollege @UniofOxford @UniOfYork @LSEnews

Congratulations to Jordan Noble on passing his PhD last week, for his thesis: “Adaptive estimation and change detection of correlation and quantiles for data streams”

Congratulations to Shozen Dan on winning the Winton Capital Prize for the Best Research Project on the MSc in Statistics 2021-22!

Congratulations to Hengxu Liu on receiving The Warner Prize on the MSc in Statistics 2021-22! Hengxu is currently a PhD student in our department studying network time series.

Congratulations to Zhaoxin Wang on The Winton Capital Prize for the best student on the MSc in Statistics 2021-22! Zhaoxin is currently focusing on building a successful career in quantitative finance.

Congratulations to Charlie Lao on The Royal Statistical Society Prize 2021-22! Charlie is currently a software engineer honing his coding and CS skills, aspired to be a machine learning PhD one day and a researcher following that.

Congrats to Edward White on the Rajendra Bhansali prize 2021-22! Edward is now a Quantitative Trader in foreign exchange at Deutsche Bank. "I'm very happy to be receiving the prize. The statistics MSc was such a great experience because of the amazing staff and students."

Interested in statistical machine learning and population health? Have a look at this postdoc position to work with myself @Imperial_Stats and collaborate with the Environment and Global Health research group @imperialcollege. imperial.ac.uk/jobs/descripti…

A warm #welcome to our new students as they begin their #MSc in #Statistics journey with us at Imperial! We wish you a productive and enriching year ahead!

Next up: maths ➡️ Dr Thomas Cass: Unparameterised paths: signatures, rough paths & the mathematics of multimodal data ➡️ Efthymios Costa: Clustering mixed-type data: which method to choose? Find out more about research @ImperialMaths @Imperial_Stats: imperial.ac.uk/mathematics/

The bigger picture: bringing research to life through #collaboration. Dr @ASykulski reflects on why he took an afternoon out of office @ImperialMaths to visit @Silwood_Park & reasons why researchers at all career stages should engage outside their groups: blogs.imperial.ac.uk/natural-scienc…
