Sudipta Dasmohapatra is the Director of the Master’s Program and a faculty in the Department of Statistical Science at Duke University. She currently serves as the SAMSI Director of Diversity. In this role, Sudipta’s vision is to conceptualize and cultivate diversity initiatives that will identify opportunities for under-represented groups to participate and contribute to SAMSI mission, and future SAMSI programs, workshops and special events.

 

 


SAMSI Partners

SAMSI regularly works to develop academic and professional partnerships with institutions of learning across the nation. These partnerships help to ensure SAMSI can offer diversity inclusion by bringing our robust network of prominent minds in the fields of applied mathematics, statistics and computer science opportunities to all individuals. SAMSI is proud to work with these institutions and hopes to develop an extensive network in the future.

The following institutions have partnerships with SAMSI:



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SAMSI, from its inception in 2002, has been committed to respecting and supporting the values of inclusiveness, diversity, freedom of expression, and respect for all peoples, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, and expression, sexual orientation, religion, age, national origin, class or disabilities. One of nine science and mathematics institutes supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF), SAMSI is committed to engaging and expanding the reach of its current and future programs to encourage and incorporate more women and underrepresented minorities to participate. Together with the other NSF Mathematical Sciences Institutes, SAMSI partners with the Mathematical Sciences Institutes Diversity Initiative (MSIDI) to plan, promote and carry out programs that represent all people in order to grow the fields of statistics, applied mathematics, computer sciences, and mathematical sciences more broadly, for generations to come.

SAMSI directorate diligently works to ensure the inclusion of women and underrepresented groups among those who attend SAMSI programs and workshops. Further, the directorate also makes sure that the representation of women and minorities in SAMSI graduate, undergraduate, and postdoctoral fellow programs is a priority. In addition, SAMSI also includes women and underrepresented groups in organizing committees and leadership level positions within the SAMSI directorate and governing body.
