Events

This two day in person event is an opportunity to find out more about the Department's research. It takes the form of a series of short talks and will provide an overview of the research activities of the Department's four research groups: Data Science, Probability in Finance and Insurance, Social Statistics and Time Series and Statistical Learning. The presentations will be accompanied by a poster session for students on 5 June, combined with a reception.

This hybrid event is designed for aspiring research students who are keen to learn more about studying a PhD in Statistics at LSE. It is also a fantastic opportunity to meet our faculty, current research students and alumni.

Our annual Careers panel with our wonderful alumni was able to be in person this year and what a turn out it was! We had 55 current MSc and BSc students attending this in-person panel where we had five accomplished alumni come and speak about their career journey so far and gave our students mountains of advice and knowledge. The alumni who attended were:

Oceana Liang – Consulting Development Analyst

Milt Mavrakakis - Head of Quant Training and a Senior Quantitative Analyst at Smartodds

Mark Perfect - Lead Data Scientist at Deloitte

Micha Pana - Lead Data Scientist at Updraft

Angelina Mylona - Senior Trainee Actuary at the Government Actuary’s Department

A big thank you also to Dr James Abdey who chaired the event!

We will be adding a video of our alumni talking about their experiences at LSE in due course.

Our MSc students had a wonderful weekend away from 14-16 October to Cumberland Lodge in Windsor and our Undergraduates went from 11-13 November. 

Cumberland Lodge is a former royal residence and our students escaped the bustle of London for a weekend of exploring beautiful grounds, bonding with fellow students and strengthening their team skills! Students enjoyed the chance to socialise and relax in the beautiful grounds of Windsor Great Park. The event was attended by academic staff and PhD students from the Department of Statistics also. 

The Institute of Mathematical Statistics is an international professional society, devoted to the development, dissemination, and application of statistics and probability. Established in 1935, the IMS currently has nearly 4,500 members worldwide. 

This year, the highly anticipated IMS Annual Meeting will be hosted by the Department of Statistics and will take place at Senate House, University of London.
