This month, we spotlight new member Jiaxi Sun, who answered the following questions so we could get to know him better:
How did you become interested in statistics and/or data science?
I am a student in the MA in statistics program at Columbia University. Fueled by deep interests in mathematics and economics, I have continuously strengthened my proficiency in statistical theory and data science paradigms.
What do you consider your dream job?
My ideal job is to become a policy maker and quantitative researcher in financial institutions or think tanks, where I can fuse statistical modeling, machine learning techniques, and economic insight to tackle real-world challenges.
What do you hope understanding statistics and/or data science helps you accomplish?
I hope knowledge and skills in statistics will enable me to design data-driven policies; improve risk management in financial markets; and develop innovative solutions in a time of rapid advances in artificial intelligence, cognitive science, and the revitalization of traditional industries.
I hope our community will become stronger!
