Talk Title:
Having Real-World Impact as a Data-Free Theorist
Abstract:
It is easy to point to mathematical and statistical techniques for analyzing data that address real-world problems, but it is less obvious how theoretical development alone can lead to real-world impact. This talk will walk through several examples, discuss the ecosystem of mathematics and statistics researchers involved in applied efforts, and highlight ways students can prepare for careers in these types of roles.
