This month, we spotlight Collin Nill, a statistics student from the University of Connecticut, 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 became interested in statistics due to my early interest in mathematics, along with my desire to understand problems that cannot be answered by just stacking or averaging numbers.
What do you consider your dream job?
My dream job would be any job that has a fairly large theoretical component, along with a sufficiently large application of said theoretical components. (Anything where I get to create new theory/algorithms while being able to implement them for a period of time.)
What do you hope understanding statistics and/or data science helps you accomplish?
My hope is that understanding statistics/data science will help me become well versed in real problems and help researchers in other fields find out/improve areas they may not have understood or considered.
Is there a particular group of statisticians you would like to reach out to you?
I am not sure for now, but I am subscribed to environmental and computational statistics.
What is your favorite hobby?
My favorite hobby is simply hanging out with a small group of my friends.
