Neyman Seminar#
When: Wednesdays, 4-5pm
Where: 1011 Evans Hall
The Neyman seminar is the department’s main Statistics seminar. It has a very broad scope, with topics ranging from applications of statistics to theory. The speakers are typically researchers from other universities, invited to speak at Berkeley. See https://statistics.berkeley.edu/research/seminars/neyman for the details of past and upcoming talks.
Probability Seminar#
When: Wednesdays, 3-4pm
Where: 1011 Evans Hall
The probability seminar is a weekly seminar co-sponsored by the Statistics and Mathematics departments featuring the latest research in pure and applied probability, as well as probabilistic work from related disciplines including computer science and operations research. The speakers are typically researchers from other universities, invited to speak at Berkeley. It also offers graduate students a friendly environment to present their research. See https://statistics.berkeley.edu/research/seminars/probability for the details of past and upcoming talks.
Student Probability Seminar#
When: Wednesdays, 2-3pm
Where: 891 Evans Hall
The student probability seminar is a weekly seminar run and attended by graduate students in the Statistics and Mathematics deprartments. Each week, a student volunteers to give a talk following the seminar’s theme of the semester. See https://mriganka.xyz/seminar for the details of past and upcoming talks.
