    Third Annual Workshop

     

    EMERGING DATA SCIENCE METHODS FOR COMPLEX BIOMEDICAL AND CYBER DATA

     

    March 16 -17, 2023

    Georgia Cyber Center Hull McKnight Building                     

    100 Grace Hopper Lane, Augusta, GA


    The Division of Biostatistics and Data Science in the Department of Population Health Sciences in the Medical College of Georgia and the School of Computer and Cyber Sciences at Augusta University are organizing the third annual workshop on "Emerging Data Science Methods for Complex Biomedical and Cyber Data". The goal of this two-day workshop is to educate and empower graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and early career researchers and faculty members with emerging statistical methods to address the complex data arising from various fields, in particular, from biomedical and cyber sciences.

    The workshop will be in the form of specific research overviews and lectures provided by leading experts in the current respective topic areas. A poster session and a five-minute oral presentation session will be held respectively during the first and second day of the workshop. A limited number of posters and 5-minute presentations will be selected for poster/presentation awards by a panel of judges.

    Invited Speakers:

    Dr. Gagan Agrawal, Augusta University

    Dr. Sandrine Dudoit, University of California, Berkeley

    Dr. James B D Joshi, University of Pittsburgh

    Dr. Murat Kantarcioglu, University of Texas at Dallas

    Dr. Xihong Lin, Harvard University

    Dr. Bani Mallick, Texas A&M University

    Dr. Xiao-Li Meng, Harvard University

    Dr. Aditya Prakash, Georgia Institute of Technology

    Dr. Elizabeth Slate, Florida State University

    With the NSF support, we are able to provide travel awards to undergraduate students to attend the workshop; and we are also able to provide travel awards to graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to either present posters or to give five-minute oral presentations on their respective research closely related to the theme of this workshop.  Travel Award application deadline is extended to February 10th, 2023. 

    For more information and to register, please visit https://www.augusta.edu/mcg/dphs/workshop3/. Early registration (by March 1st, 2023) is strongly encouraged because of space limits.  Registration fee will be higher if paid on or after March 1st, 2023. 

    The workshop is financially supported by the National Science Foundation and the Augusta University Senior Vice President Office for Research, and co-sponsored by the American Statistical Association (ASA) Georgia Chapter, Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS), and the Southern Regional Council on Statistics (SRCOS).
