Brown Bag Seminar
Q-AOS Brown Bag Seminar Series The 218th Seminar “Three Directions in Statistical Research”
The Q-AOS Brown Bag Seminar Series will start every Wednesday at lunchtime from April 2021. The purpose of this webinar series is to provide opportunities not only to learn research related to SDGs in Asian and Oceanian regions, but also to expand your research network across different academic areas.
The webinar is free, available in English and Japanese, and open to everyone! We hope you all come and join us!

Abstract
I have been working in statistics for many years, especially in the area of mathematical statistics, which is grounded in mathematical theory. In recent years, however, the rapid development of AI has changed the landscape of research. I have come to feel that mathematical statistics alone, unless extremely original, is no longer enough to create new value. Instead, interdisciplinary approaches, new forms of statistical education that make use of AI, and theoretical studies that incorporate deeper mathematics are becoming increasingly important.
With this in mind, my current research follows three main directions.
The first is collaborating with industry to address real-world problems and to study the mathematical questions that arise from them.
The second is fundamental research that involves advanced mathematics, such as algebra.
The third is strengthening statistical education through writing and outreach activities.
Through these three directions, I hope to explore new possibilities for the future of statistics.
