Workshop on Detecting Anomalous Structures in Stream Settings, DASS Workshop 2025

General

This workshop, which is taking place in the Postgraduate Statistics Centre (PSC) on will begin Monday, September 22nd 2025, and conclude on Thursday, September 25th 2025, will have the theme 'Detecting Anomalous Structure in Stream Settings'. This will be an event bringing together both early career and established researchers working in the area, together with practitioners, to share their latest work and help foster new collaborations.

Confirmed speakers include: 

• Professor Yao Xie (ISyE)

• Professor George Michailidis (UCLA)

• Professor Olga Klopp (ESSEC)

• Professor Tengyao Wang (LSE)

• Professor Veronica Bowman (Paebbl)

and many more!

The full list of speakers can be found on the timetable below, along with on the abstracts and programme booklet attached.

Venue

The Workshop will take place in the Postgraduate Statistics Centre (PSC) at Lancaster University. The exact location of the PSC can be found here.

Travel

By Bus

From the railway station: during University vacation periods (Monday-Saturday) the 4 and 4X bus services operate hourly from the station. The journey time is around 25 minutes. Taxis are also available at the station.

From the city centre (which is a 5 minute walk from the railway station): Lancaster Bus Station is situated on Damside Street in the city centre and most bus services also stop at Common Garden Street. We recommend using the Common Garden Street stop if coming from the train station. Service 1/1A provides a direct connection to the University every 10 minutes, Services 100, 4, 4X, 40, 41 and 42 also serve the University giving a total of 14 buses per hour from Monday to Saturday until 7pm. A less frequent service then runs daily until around midnight.

By Car

Leave the M6 at Junction 33, and head north along the A6 towards the city centre. You will pass through the village of Galgate, and the main university entrance is about 1.5 miles further on. If using an online route planner or satnav, the main University postcode is LA1 4YW.

Registration

Unfortunately, registration is now closed.
