About
Statistics Graduate Student Research Day is an annual conference organized by graduate students in the Department of Statistical Sciences at the University of Toronto. The event celebrates and showcases the exciting work of graduate students in the areas of statistics, mathematical sciences, and actuarial science. This conference also serves as a valuable networking opportunity, bringing together students from across disciplines to connect with the broader statistical sciences community.

Acknowledgments
The organizing committee extends sincere thanks to faculty advisors Dr. Sebastian Jaimungal, Dr. Stanislav Volgushev, and Dr. Piotr Zwiernik, as well as staff members Angela Fleury, Karla Barrera, and Kachely Peters for their guidance and support in planning this event.
We are also grateful to the Department of Statistical Sciences at the University of Toronto for their generous funding and logistical support.
Land Acknowledgment
We respectfully acknowledge the land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place remains home to many Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island, and we are grateful for the opportunity to work and learn on this land.
