Statistics professors Mark and Stacey Culp traveled to Washington D.C. in May to present work from Mark’s NSF CAREER Grant on Machine Learning Solutions to Big Data Problems in Biometrics and Drug Discovery.
The Culps met with staff in the offices of senators Joe Manchin and Shelley Moore Capito and representatives David McKinley, Alex Mooney and Evan Jenkins to discuss support for science in West Virginia and urge NSF funding.
While in D.C., Stacey also presented her research with statistics and health care applications and how such work can improve the quality of life for West Virginians.
Their trip was featured in AMSTAT, the membership magazine of the American Statistical Association.
