Statistics at Michigan has a fast-growing reputation as an international leader in statistical education and research. Many of our faculty members are renowned researchers who work on some of the most important problems of our time, including modeling and analyzing complex and high-dimensional data. Among them are a MacArthur Fellow (Susan Murphy), the current president of the International Statistical Institute (Vijay Nair), editors of leading statistics journals (Xuming He, Tailen Hsing and Naisyin Wang), and elected fellows of the American Statistical Association and the Institute of Mathematical Statistics.

We continue to recruit the highest quality faculty and students, and we dedicate resources to producing the next generation of leaders in our field.
