Giuseppe is among 30 researchers recognised in this year’s awards, and one of five recipients in Mathematics and Statistics. The prestigious prizes celebrate researchers whose work has achieved international recognition and whose future research shows exceptional promise.

Giuseppe’s research explores the mathematics of randomness, combining probability theory, statistical mechanics and stochastic analysis. He studies how complex random systems behave at large scales and the common mathematical patterns that emerge across different models.

This year, we’re delighted to welcome 12 new PhD students to our CDT in Statistics programme, alongside 6 visiting PhD students! 🎓 They are joining a vibrant research community working across statistics, machine learning, data science, probability, mathematical finance and related areas.

🎉 Happy Lunar New Year! 🧧 Wishing all our students, staff, alumni, and friends a joyful and prosperous Chinese New Year. May the Year of the Horse bring energy, success, and exciting new opportunities to everyone associated with Warwick Statistics! ✨ 新年快乐，马到成功 🐎

Yesterday afternoon, we hosted the third and final event in this year’s Flagship Careers Series: Medical Statistics and Health Data Science.

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.

Huge thanks also go to Nick Tawn, Francesca Basini, PhD, Esther de Perlaky and Charlie Hattersley for organising such a successful series of events!

Yesterday afternoon, we hosted the third and final event in this year’s Flagship Careers Series: Medical Statistics and Health Data Science.

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.

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.

Yesterday afternoon, we hosted the third and final event in this year’s Flagship Careers Series: Medical Statistics and Health Data Science.

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).

On 19 February, Gareth will give a public lecture in Kolkata, titled “Biases in draws for major football competitions, and how to fix them.”

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....

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.

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).

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.
