Student work areas in the Department have been enhanced during the summer, and the academic office has been re-located to C0.02 (nearer the departmental entrance door) to form a larger Student Reception area. As we enter the new term, re-furbishment work on the new Reception area is almost complete.

The ground-floor quiet work areas in C (outside C0.15) and D (outside D0.08) have been enlarged (the latter substantially). A new quiet work area has been created outside B1.01 (in the Maths part of the building, accessible from Statistics via the first-floor corridor in quadrant C), and this is available for use by students from the Mathematics or Statistics departments.

At the 2012 International Biometrics Conference in Kobe, Japan, out of more than 200 contributed talks, eight were selected to receive awards. These included talks by two Warwick Statistics PhD students, Emmanuel Ogundimu and Markus Elze, both of whom received highly commended awards for their research presentations.
 
Congratulations to both Markus and Emmanuel!

The Department awarded prizes to five high-achieving graduates on degree day, yesterday.

Man Prizes

Sponsored by Man Investments, and awarded to the two top 4th Year Masters Degree students on the MMORSE or MMathStat programmes.

This year's winners were Victoria Whittington and Christopher Hannay.

Ronald A Fisher Prizes

Awarded to exceptionally high-achieving graduates of the Department of Statistics.

This year's winners were Christopher Wragg, Maxine McAngus and Jere Koskela.

In the 35th Annual Research Students' Conference in Probability and Statistics held in Southampton (July 9-12, 2012) two of our PhD students won awards for their presentations:

Cata Vallejos won one of three prizes for the best talk and Murray Pollock won the prize for the best poster.

Both were rewarded with books and will be invited to give their presentations at the 2013 Royal Statistical Society Conference.

Congratulations to both!
