Prof. Kai Zhang's group and Prof. Jingfang Huang's group meets weekly to discuss projects at the interface of statistics and applied analysis. The current topics include the dependency test, finding low dimensional structures, and methods for high dimensional data analysis.
This is the first meeting in Fall 2023 semester. The PIs from both UNC and UIC will meet and discuss research and collaboration plans.
In this meeting, we will discuss the planned workshop at Casa Matematica Oaxaca (CMO), and possible follow-up workshops.
There is no meeting this week. Enjoy the fall break.
