About me...

My name is Sivan (סיון). I was born and raised in Israel. After finishing my MSc studies in the

I have just started my first year PhD studies in the Statistics department at Wharton.

About what I did...

I finished my BSc. Cum Laude (2004) in the Industrial engineering and Management faculty in the Technion.

In my third year, I started teaching "Introduction to Statistics" and it was a lot of fun. I also taught "Data

Mining Methods" which was a great course. I received four times the excellence award for best Teaching

Assistant.

The courses I taught opened my mind to the world of Statistics. I decided to continue studying my

MSc degree in the same faculty in the Technion. My wonderful advisers Prof. Paul Feigin and Prof. Avishai

Mandelbaum got me interested in Call Center statistical analyzes and so my MSc thesis title is "Forecasting

Linear Mixed models, Bayesian models and more... and so here I am still trying to figure out what are my

interests in the vast world of Statistics.

Who I am...

Last year I got married to my wonderful husband Noam whom I met during the army.

Noam and Me

I have a great mother and father who support me and are an inspiration to me. I am a sandwich sister to two

wonderful brothers. My older brother, Ori, is working in 'CheckPoint' and my younger brother, Elad, is still

in the army. Last, but certainly not least, is my dog, Bagio, which is a beautiful and smart golden retriever

(which is back in Israel with the rest of the family).

My Favorites

I have been dancing modern ballet, jazz and classical ballet since I was 9 years old. I am hoping to find a

new place to dance in Philly. My other passion is tramping (or tracking depending on the country). I try to

get out as much as possible and smell the roses…
