About Us
A world-class hub for research and education in statistics and data science focused on harnessing the power of data for discovery and innovation.
Note from the Department Chair
I’m a UT grad myself, a Longhorn through and through, and I’ve seen firsthand how our university changes lives for the better. In the Department of Statistics and Data Science, we’re driven by the belief that the power of data can spark discovery and shed light on the unknown. Our faculty and students take on big questions with curiosity, rigor, and joy. We hope you’ll come be part of it — because, as we say all over the Forty Acres, what starts here changes the world!
