Seminar on “What it means to be an Applied Statistician — an industry perspective”

This question was asked many times in the past. I am sure all of you have pondered about it at some point in your academic life. In this talk, I will explain what it truly means to be an applied statistician. Spoiler alert: statistics is inherently applied from an industry perspective. We do not differentiate between a statistician and an applied statistician.

So are you ready to apply your skills? What do we expect a statistician to do in the industry? Are academic institutions making you industry-ready? There is no one correct answer here. It depends on the context. In this talk, I will share my experience in the industry that would help you understand the opportunities ahead and how you can align your focus and take steps to make the most out of it.
