Silicon Crystal Balls: The Science, Math and Methods of Factory Future Prediction, Scheduling and Control

Hi Statistics and Data Science Students,

Dr. Holland Smith from INFICON will be visiting Cal Poly Oct. 9.

If you have any interest in operations research, optimization, machine learning, stochastic models, or just want to hear a really good speaker, you are invited to his talk (see flyer)

Details: 6:10-7:30 (probably 192-237).

But I especially want to invite you to a “meet and greet” with Dr. Smith from 4 – 5:30 pm in 180-331 before hand. There will be pizza!

Feel free to come ask questions about working in the semiconductor industry or about how he sees the role of machine learning in forecasting etc.

This will be informal discussion, not a presentation. Please email me at bchance@calpoly.edu if you are interested in attending any portion of the meet and greet so we can get a rough headcount. (And you may notice the room of the talk may change, so maybe let me know if you think you can attend that as well to help with planning 😊).

Thanks!

Fall Career Fair Employers for Mathematics and Statistics Students

Greetings!

It’s hard to believe, but the Fall Career Fair is right around the corner. Starting next week, Wednesday, October 9^th and Thursday, October 10^th at the Recreation Center, nearly 200 employers over those two days will be on campus to recruit students for internships, co-ops, and employment purposes.

In preparation for the event, I wanted to share a list of employers who are attending the fair and have expressed interest in hiring and working with students who are studying mathematics and statistics. Organizations include:

Organization	Days Attending
Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) - Weapons Division	Wednesday
Air Force Civilian Service (AFCS) Air Force Test Center (AFTC) - STEM	Both
United States Postal Service	Both
RTX (formerly Raytheon Technologies)	Wednesday
Lam Research Corporation	Wednesday
Credit One Bank	Wednesday
Applied Materials	Wednesday
G3 Enterprises, Inc.	Wednesday
Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center	Both
Los Alamos National Lab	Both
ORISE	Both

Additionally, there are a number of employers who have stated they are open to students from all majors. Among the more relevant organizations attending are Divergent, General Atomics, CaltransHQ, Schneider Electric, and the Center for California Studies

We work hard to ensure there are opportunities for all students, including BCSM students, at Career Services events. If possible, please share this list with faculty and encourage students to attend—even if they’re not actively looking now, this event is an excellent opportunity to learn about the various employment and internship prospects available to them.

Thank you for your time and have a wonderful day.

Best,
