Graduate Students
My research group is looking for self-motivated graduate students to work on various research topics. The students should have at least two years of higher education in any discipline. Previous training and experience in mathematical analysis, programming, numerical analysis, optimization, and simulation are highly preferred, although not necessary.
Full-time M.S./Ph.D. students in the Department of Statistics at UofSC normally receive full assistantships, including tuition waivers and stipends during the normative study period. Outstanding applicants for the Ph.D. program may receive additional fellowships and awards. For more information regarding the graduate programs, please refer to the Department website.
Additional summer support will typically be provided to Ph.D. students in my research group through my funding sources and collaborations.
Remark: So far, all my Ph.D. students have been fully funded for all their summers in my group!
Undergraduate Researchers
Undergraduate students can contact me to get involved in research projects. You can also find the Office of Undergraduate Research website for information about funding opportunities. Students from other colleges and universities are also welcome!
I am now recruiting a USC undergraduate as a paid research assistant for an NSF-funded research project. I expect the student to commit approximately 10 hours per week for 20 weeks. The student will actively get involved in various research-related activities, such as paper reading, programming, simulation and data analysis, documentation and manuscript writing, and meetings. Applicants should have some background in Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related quantitative field. Experience with Python or R is required.
