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.
Write our admissions secretary Ms. Jude Grudzina,
jzg@stat.wisc.edu for applications for admission
and support in the Statistics Dept, and to check the status of your
application. Write me if you have questions
about academics, but please do not send me PC-encoded
files as the mailer I use does not handle them easily.
Also be sure that any information you want the admissions
committee to see is contained within the required
parts of your application, (for
example in your statement), otherwise it may not be
seen by the admissions committee.
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,
however 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, and, first to students in
the Statistics Department. I generally don't offer assistantships
to students before they arrive here. I expect to get
to know students before agreeing to supervise their
theses. Usually this is by their taking 840, 841 or or 860 with me.
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 the students 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.
I also have courtesy appointments in CS and in Biostatistics and
Medical Informatics. IMPORTANT NOTE: Statistics and
Biostatistics-Medical Informatics
admissions are handled through the Statistics
Department. For admission to the CS department please
contact CS.
