Faculty and students from the Department of Statistics are participating in the Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM) 2017<\/a> in Baltimore, July 29 – August 3. JSM is one of the largest statistical conferences in the world, hosting more than 6,000 statisticians from \"\"<\/a>academia, industry and government and featuring more than 600 research sessions and poster presentations.<\/p>\n

Topics at JSM 2017 range from statistical applications to methodology and theory to the expanding boundaries of statistics, such as analytics and data science.<\/p>\n

College of Science Dean Sastry Pantula, who is also a Professor of Statistics, will be the luncheon speaker and present a talk, “Strengths, Opportunities and Challenges in the era of BIG\u00a0<\/span>Data: An Asian Statistician Perspective<\/a>.” He will\u00a0discuss: \u00a0T<\/span>he strengths Asian statisticians bring to the profession,\u00a0<\/span>opportunities that exist for Asian statisticians in the era of BIG\u00a0<\/span>data across all sectors, how<\/span>\u00a0universities and professional societies can help build<\/span>\u00a0future leaders in statistics, the<\/span>\u00a0needs and challenges Asian statisticians face and how<\/span>\u00a0Asian statisticians can strive for excellence, enhance\u00a0<\/span>diversity and foster harmony in the profession.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pantula is delivering a talk during the Pre-Conference Workshop, which is part of a\u00a0continuing education course, “<\/span>Preparing Statisticians for Leadership: How to See the Big Picture and Have More Influence, Part 2<\/span>.” The course, which is being held Sunday morning on July 30, addresses\u00a0what leadership is and how statisticians can improve and demonstrate leadership to affect their organizations. It features leaders from all sectors of statistics speaking about their personal journeys and offering guidance on personal leadership development with a focus on the larger organizational\/business view and influence.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pantula is also participating in a panel discussion\u00a0<\/a>of current and former Deans and Provosts of Arts and Sciences who are statisticians. Panelists will share their perspectives and experiences about how to advance the mission of statistics departments in the current university environment. The panel is on Thursday, August 3.<\/p>\n

All OSU Statistics alumni are welcomed at a special reception for them on Tuesday, August 1 from 5:30-7:00 p.m. at the Hilton Hotel on Pratt Street in Tubman A. The event offers the perfect occasion to reconnect with other alumni, OSU faculty, students and friends. We look forward to catching up with alumni to hear about their accomplishments and successes!<\/p>\n

Below is a complete list of our faculty and student who are presenting talks and poster presentations at JSM 2017.\u00a0Many of our faculty <\/span>and alumni <\/span>are <\/span>also <\/span>representing\u00a0OSU on various\u00a0committees, are presenting papers on which they are\u00a0co-authors\u00a0and participating in other ways at the conference<\/span>, but are not listed below<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
