The Division of Biostatistics and Data Science in the Department of Population Health Sciences in the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta Universityis organizing a 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 science.

 The workshop will be in the form of specific research overviews and lectures provided by leading experts in the respective topic areas.  A poster session will be held during the first day of the workshop. A limited number of posters will be selected for poster awards.

Speakers:                               Rachel Cummings, Georgia Institute of Technology

                                                George Cybenko, Dartmouth College
