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 two distinguished plenary speakers accompanying four student sessions in:

  1. Machine Learning, Information, and Statistics;
  2. Control, Autonomy, and Decision Making;
  3. Networks, Systems, Games and Economics;
  4. Optimization, Algorithms and Theory.

Due to COVID-19, this year's conference will be held virtually via Zoom and Gather.Town.
