I first came to Warwick in 2008 for a one-year MSc course in Financial Mathematics. Having spent several years working in the industry thereafter, Warwick remained to be my first choice when I decided to pursue a doctoral study in the same subject.

The Department of Statistics has provided me a stimulating environment to build up my research skill set. I particularly love the size of the community here - large enough to host a variety of research areas but small enough to facilitate interaction among the PhD students and the faculty members. I have also been greatly benefited from the resources and training offered by the department, ranging from regular research seminars to workshops on support classes teaching. There are just so many things happening around which make my PhD experience here very rewarding and exciting!
