Distinguished Seminar Series (January 2020)

We're delighted to have Dr Wendy Martinez, the President of American Statistical Association and the Director of Mathematical Statistics Research Center of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, as the first speaker of the School’s Distinguished Seminar Series.

Dr Martinez delivered two interesting talks featuring Data Ethics (13 Jan) and Analyzing Text as Data (14 Jan), which had attracted the attendance of more than 70 students and faculty members. Professor Joe Qin, Dean of the School of Data Science, expressed his gratitude to Dr Martinez for her insights and experience sharing. He also announced at the event that the School is planning to hold the Distinguished Seminar Series monthly. Renowned scholars and award recipients will be invited to deliver talks on the latest developments or innovative topics related to data science.
