Drop-Ins with Peer Industry Mentor Rai: Privacy, Power & R: Inside My Research on Statistical Data Privacy at BUPNUR with Prof. Monika Hu

Join us for drop-ins! Most students learn R in a classroom. But what does it look like when R is applied to real research — with real stakes? This drop-in is a behind-the-scenes conversation about what it actually means to work on statistical data privacy research at the university level. Led by Peer Industry Mentor Rai, who worked on this research alongside Professor Monika Hu at BUPNUR, this session pulls back the curtain on what research looks like in practice and why data privacy is one of the most important — and fast-growing — areas in modern data science.

Come ready to talk about:

What statistical data privacy is and why it matters in the age of large-scale data collection
What working on faculty-led research actually looks like day to day
How R is used as a tool in serious academic and applied research settings
How to get involved in research as a student — and why you should
Career paths that sit at the intersection of statistics, privacy, and data science
