Students on campus who may be interested
in statistical modeling, machine learning
and data mining for large, complex
data sets using splines, (reproducing) kernels,
variational
and regularization methods; biostatistical
modeling and risk factor estimation,
supervised machine learning, imaging, inverse
and remote sensing
problems are invited to
e-mail me for an appointment.
The first step is to apply, see the Admissions link
on the department website.
Ms Jude Grudzina jzg@stat.wisc.edu is the admissions
secretary whom you can contact regarding the
status of your application.
I'm getting too many e-mails asking if I will accept
the writer as a PhD student before they apply.
Sorry, the answer is no. Please apply before asking.
Be sure that any information you want the Admissions
Committee to see goes into your application. Otherwise
it will not be in the data base from which the
Committee makes its judgments.
You may see the kinds of projects my group is working
on by looking at the reports in the
TRLIST
I occasionally have research
assistant or project assistant positions to offer.
These usually go first to students who
have taken either Statistics 840, 841 or 860 with me,
and then to students who will be taking one of them
concurrently.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR FALL 2012 ADMISSIONS:
I do not anticipate
making individual committments to prospective students until
after they have been admitted with guaranteed support, and
only then pending graduations from my group or additional
funds - present slots are anticipated filled through June 2012,
and it is unknown as of Nov 2011 whether there will be
open RA slots for September 2012.
In general the Statistics department offers a number of guaranteed positions
to incoming students. The initial job assignments for the
first semester for those
who have guaranteed positions are usually
teaching assistant positions, but it is possible for
them to be converted
to research assistant or project assistant positions
after they arrive, or, in rare instances before they
arrive.
There are many opportunities
for more advanced students to have research assistantships.
Students who apply for support may also be considered for
fellowships, no separate application is necessary, altho
the number of available fellowships is limited.
You are
welcome to see me when you get here - e-mail for an appointment.
Incoming students are invited to write also.
I also have courtesy appointments in CS and in Biostatistics and
Medical Informatics. I can supervise PhDs in CS and BMI.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Statistics and
Biostatistics-Medical Informatics
admissions are handled through the Statistics
Department. For admission to the CS department please
contact CS.
