"CDSE has been one of the most interesting programs put forth by UB. The program encouraged interactions beyond my disciplinary boundaries and helped me develop an appreciation for the differences in viewpoints across domains. The exposure provided here was valuable for developing a new understanding of these domains."

My experience during my Matsers at UB was what drove me to stay put. Plus, Buffalo is so cool!
I love the interdisciplinary blend that this program offers. It allows me to explore the problems in other domains with an outsider's perspective which is a great learning experience.
I am working on anomaly detection using Bayesian non-parametric models and extreme value theory.
