1. Message from the Chair

We are pleased to present Issue 18 of the Department of Statistics Newsletter, which highlights the department’s events, activities and achievements from 2022–23 onwards.

The year of 2023 was memorable as it marked the 60th anniversary of The Chinese University of Hong Kong and Faculty of Science. In celebration of this significant milestone, the department held a range of activities including The 12th ICSA International Conference and Distinguished Lecture Series. You will find more details about those activities in this newsletter.
 
I am delighted to introduce to you our new faculty member, Dr. Li Gen, whose research interests include reinforcement learning, generative AI, high-dimensional statistics, machine learning and deep learning. Please join me in welcoming Dr. Li.
 
We thank all colleagues, alumni, students and friends for their unwavering support over the years. The department will continue its efforts to pursue excellence in teaching and learning.
