The Algebra in Data Analysis group investigates statistical and biological questions through the lens of algebra, geometry and combinatorics, and develops new math motivated by this perspective. Many statistical and biological models are defined by polynomial restrictions on their parameters or the resulting distributions. Information on the algebra and geometry of a statistical model allows us to better understand the model and statistical procedures, often providing novel insights into statistical theory and applications. Conversely, such questions motivate new advancements in algebraic geometry and related fields.
Positions available for mathematicians with background in algebraic geometry, commutative algebra and combinatorics that are enthusiastic about interdisciplinary research with statistics and biology.
