As a mathematician I often see applied work (both academic and industrial) that could benefit from a probabilistic framework which isn’t being used because there’s a disconnect between subject experts and probabilistic techniques. I think that there is a lot of opportunity to do useful and exciting work by working with a team in a subject area that needs probability but hasn’t been utilizing it fully yet.

Understanding not only what we know, but what we do not know; trying to getting estimations of uncertainty; and expressly representing the randomness in the world is a challenging, but powerful approach to mathematical modeling, data analysis, and optimization.
