University of New South Wales - School of Mathematics and Statistics

The Department of Statistics at UNSW encompasses a broad range of research interests, supporting a variety of options for postgraduate and postdoctoral study. A number of groups have been formed by members of our academic staff from the Department of Statistics, the School of Mathematics and Statistics, and UNSW as a whole, who have overlapping interests. Follow the links below for further details of the current research groups. Research at UNSW is supplemented by a number of popular weekly seminar series in a range of related disciplines, making UNSW an unrivalled and varied working environment.
