yes, im working under prof robinson.
i think unsw is stronger at applied statistics and theoretical finance (blended with Analysis etc). usyd is stronger at statistical theory.
ive heard that john is a nice guy. true? is he a flexible guy? etc
also, what are the research strengths of usyd stats (more specifically)? btw, what kind of stuff are u expected to do as research? this is all new to me.
ben goldys is very good at mathematical finance. hes known for stressing rigour in his courses (that can be a good and bad thing).

this might be interesting. university medal winning thesis on malliavin calculus.
do many ppl major in stats at usyd?
