The Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM), organized by the American Statistical Association and the Statistical Society of Canada, is one of the world’s largest and most diverse gatherings of statisticians, drawing over 5,000 attendees from 52 countries. Covering a wide range of topics— from statistical theory and methodology to applications in AI, cybersecurity, healthcare, and data science—JSM offers a rich platform for scholarly exchange.
The 2024 JSM took place in Portland, Oregon, from August 1–5. Among its many sessions was one organized by Culverhouse students and faculty, titled “Monitoring in the Modern Era,” under the Section on Contemporary Statistical Challenges. Dr. Chase Holcombe, a Culverhouse graduate, now an assistant professor at the University of South Alabama, chaired the session. Dr. Subha Chakraborti co-organized, and Dr. Jason Parton served as discussant. Speakers included researchers from The University of Alabama, Georgia Tech, and Miami University in Ohio.
