Welcome to the 25th Annual LIDS Student Conference!

poster

The annual LIDS Student Conference is a student-organized, student-run conference that provides an opportunity for graduate students and postdocs to present their research to peers as well as to the community at large. This year, we are delighted to welcome four distinguished plenary speakers accompanying student sessions in Machine Learning and Statistics; Information and Networks; Control Theory and Applications; Algorithms, Optimization, and Game Theory. Along with a panel discussion and a celebratory banquet at Samberg Conference Center, this conference is a yearly highlight.
