Married couple Wanfang Chen and Yuxiao Li came to KAUST in August 2016 to pursue their Ph.D. studies in the field of statistics. Both students are based in the University's Computer, Electrical and Mathematical Science & Engineering division—Chen under the supervision of Distinguished Professor Marc Genton and Li under the supervision of Professor Ying Sun.
Ying Sun is a multi-award-winning statistician who is inspired by the value of statistics in solving real-world problems.
Gaurav Agarwal joined KAUST in the fall of 2016 as a statistics Ph.D. student in the Environmental Statistics Group under the supervision of Professor Ying Sun. Before joining KAUST, Agarwal completed a bachelor's degree in statistics from Hindu College, Delhi, and a master's degree in statistics from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kanpur.
