Congratulations to Callum Murphy-Barltrop (@callumbarltrop) who passed his viva yesterday with a thesis titled "Novel methodology for the estimation of extremal bivariate return curves"! Callum will be joining TU Dresden as a research associate in September. Well done, Callum!

Touchdown in Milan for the Extreme Value Analysis 2023 conference #EVA2023 with the full squad 🇮🇹 #LancsOnTour

The first full day of #RSS2023Conf is off to an excellent start. A selection of prizewinning presentations kicked off the day, including Conor Murphy sharing our work on extreme value threshold selection! 🏆📈

I really enjoyed presenting our work on extreme value threshold selection at #RSS2023Conf in Harrogate this morning. Thank you to YSS for the invitation! The first day has been full of super interesting talks and discussions. Excited for the rest of it!

Thank you to everyone that came. It's feels a bit surreal to get to talk about K-pop and K-dramas at a statistics conference, I had so much fun! 🇰🇷 🌊 Significance

🎉It's workshop week🎉 This week we are hosting the STOR-i Extremes Workshop (STEW) at Lancaster University - looking forward to welcoming everyone to a very rainy campus on Wednesday! #STEW2023

Only 2 days until the STOR-i Extremes Workshop kicks off!! It's been a pleasure to organise this workshop and really excited to welcome everyone to Lancaster University on Wednesday! #STEW2023

The rain won't put a dampener on our excitement for the STOR-i Extremes Workshop this week! We're ready and raring to welcome all participants to Lancaster University ☔ #STEW2023

A very successful first day at #STEW2023 with keynote talks from Prof. Jon Tawn and Dr. Daniela Castro-Camilo (Dr. Daniela Castro-Camilo) as well as contributed sessions on mixture modelling and multivariate extremes 👏👏 We are well on our way with day 2!!🎊

Day 1 of #STEW2023 ✅ We had two very exciting keynote presentations from Prof. Jon Tawn and Dr. Daniela Castro-Camilo Dr. Daniela Castro-Camilo as well as a variety of interesting contributed talks. Thank you to all of our speakers!

#STEW2023 was almost a year in the making but the hard work definitely paid off 👏 We received a lot of positive feedback and were really happy with the range and quality of the talks, huge thanks to all that participated! Over and out from the organising committee *mic drop*🎤

Congratulations to Conor Murphy for submitting his paper "Automated threshold selection and associated inference uncertainty for univariate extremes"! 🥳

Our EVA 2023 Data Challenge paper, detailing a range of extreme value methods for rare events in Utopia, is now available on arXiv 🎉 arxiv.org/pdf/2312.09825…

Exciting news just out: STOR-i has been awarded funding by Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, Lancaster University and partners to fully-fund 70 PhD students between 2024-2028. See story for full details. #EPSRC_CDTs lancaster.ac.uk/news/major-fun…

Great data viz by @Prancke! The red area has a particularly interesting story. It's caused by the combination of an improved sensor network (that makes it easier to detect small earthquakes) and a big decrease in gas extraction in recent years.

Our Distinguished Professors are to be honoured by Royal Statistical Society for their leading contributions to the field of statistics! Huge congratulations to Professors Peter Diggle and Jonathan Tawn who will be awarded Guy Medals in Gold and Silver, respectively brnw.ch/21wJAIu

The first Prob_AI workshop will be held at Lancaster University from 23- 26 Sept 2024 Co-organised with STOR-i the workshop focuses on the interface of Bayesian Statistics and AI. Further details, inc. speakers and registration details can be found here: bayesaiworkshop.github.io
