Research Training Group in Statistics
for the Physical and Engineering Sciences

The National Science Foundation (NSF)-sponsored Research Training Group (RTG) in Statistics for the Physical and Engineering Sciences is designed to provide early experiential research and learning opportunities for doctoral students in statistics. The Department of Statistics at Iowa State University continues to interact with partner institutions both on campus and across the nation in multidisciplinary teams that include faculty, graduate students and partner institution scientists. This website documents the ongoing activities that are part of the RTG.

Some of the RTG activities include

• Visits by students and faculty to industrial and government partners and by partner site scientists to Iowa State
• The RTG Student Seminar Series
• The departmental RTG/Engineering Statistics work group
• Departmental seminars with topics in Engineering Statistics
• Papers and presentations by RTG students and faculty
• Dissertation topics originating from RTG partner institutions
• New ISU courses resulting from collaboration between faculty and partner institution scientists
