🎉 Instagram takeover initiative
This year, during these two days, our department’s Instagram account will be run by two of our PhD students, Edwin and Jia Le, who will share stories capturing moments from the conference. Follow us here:

We will also have contributed talks from our PhD students, new Assistant Professors and research associates, a poster session, and an early-careers-led interactive discussion.
The conference programme features 5 plenary speakers: Richard Samworth (Cambridge), Goncalo dos Reis (Edinburgh), Patrick Rebeschini (Oxford), Rebecca Killick (Lancaster) and Mark Burnett (Head of Technology Innovation and Associate Partner at G-Research).
Although this marks a departure from our long-standing Gregynog tradition, the ethos of the Warwick Statistics departmental conference remains unchanged: a dedicated space to showcase research developments in the field, exchange ideas, and reflect more broadly on the discipline’s future.
Our departmental conference returns this year and will take place on the Warwick campus from 22-23 April 2026 (tomorrow and Thursday). We would like to thank G-Research for their kind support!
Invited speakers include: Zhen-Qing Chen (Washington), Umut Cetin (LSE), Ben Hambly (Oxford), Chunrong Feng (Durham), Huaizhong Zhao (Durham) and Harry Zheng (Imperial).

Huge thanks also go to Nick Tawn, Francesca Basini, PhD, Esther de Perlaky and Charlie Hattersley for organising such a successful series of events!
As we wrap up this year’s Flagship Careers Events, we would like to extend a big thank you to all speakers across the three events. We hope students who attended gained valuable insights into different industries and feel better equipped to make informed career choices.
The second half of the event featured an engaging hands-on session led by Dr Leo Westbury, an MSc Statistics alumnus from Warwick. Using a real medical dataset on cancer remission, students from all years experienced first-hand what it is like to work with real-world medical data.
They shared their career journeys in biostatistics, health and care technology, and the biopharmaceutical sector, offering real project insights and inspiring students to connect their undergraduate learning with future career paths in these exciting industries.
More than 60 students from Statistics, Mathematics, DCS and Warwick Medical School joined us to hear from our keynote speakers, Professor Rhiannon Owen (Swansea University Medical School) and David Hartley (DSH Advisory and Warwick Statistics PhD alumnus).
Yesterday afternoon, we hosted the third and final event in this year’s Flagship Careers Series: Medical Statistics and Health Data Science.
On 19 February, Gareth will give a public lecture in Kolkata, titled “Biases in draws for major football competitions, and how to fix them.”
Professor Gareth Roberts will deliver this year’s P. C. Mahalanobis Lectures, presenting six talks between 13-23 February at the Indian Statistical Institute in Delhi, Kolkata, and Bangalore.

This workshop is jointly funded by Prob_AI Research Hub and University of Warwick - Department of Statistics via Centre for Research in Statistical Methodology (CRiSM).
Target audience: PhD students and researchers with graduate-level backgrounds in probability, statistics, machine learning theory or other related mathematical disciplines. No prior knowledge on scaling laws is required.
Confirmed speakers include Blake Bordelon (Harvard), Leena C Vankadara (UCL), Lénaïc Chizat (EPFL), Mufan Li (Waterloo), Sam Smith (OpenAI).
This three-day workshop focuses on the theoretical understanding of scaling laws in large neural network models, whose empirical principles have already been instrumental in modern AI breakthroughs.
Another exciting workshop to be held at Warwick Statistics this coming June: The ProbAI Theory of Scaling Laws Workshop from 22-24 June!
Website of the workshop: warwick.ac.uk/fac/sc...
Registration open until 31 March on a first-come-first-serve basis: warwick.ac.uk/fac/sc....
