Benjamin Leinwand

• I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, NJ. I received my PhD from the Department of Statistics and Operations Research at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill working with Vladas Pipiras and Guorong Wu. I conduct research on networks to develop novel methodologies for analyzing brain connectome data, though many of these paradigms also fit other kinds of data, like social or traffic networks. This preprint encapsulates a lot these themes, and my research statement describes a broader range of my work (and can hopefully provide an example for students who have never written a research statement before). You can see a list of my works in the Research section of this site.

Past

• Ph.D. at the Department of Statistics and Operations Research at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. While there, I helped edit a website with lots of info for prospective and current grad students. Though much of it is particular to that department, a lot is more generally applicable for a wider audience.
