The Team

Project Leader

This project is led by Professor Samuel S. Chiu of the Department of Management Science and Engineering at Stanford University. Many participating students are taking an introductory class in probabilistic analysis (either MS&E 120, MS&E 220, or SYMBSYS 120). They come from both the undergraduate and the graduate population. In addition to getting engaged in an important current event, students also learn about model building – how to build a bigger model from smaller components and how to make reasonable assumptions.
