Rebecca Killick received their PhD degree in Statistics from Lancaster University, where they hold Professor and Director of Research positions. In 2019 they were the first UK recipient of the ¡°Young Statistician of the Year¡± award from the European Network for Business and Industrial Statistics which recognizes the work of young people in introducing innovative methods, promoting the use of statistics and/or successfully using it in daily practice. Rebecca sees their research as a feedback loop, being inspired by problems in real world applications, creating novel methodology to solve those problems and then feeding these back into the problem domain. Their primary research interests lie in development of novel methodology for the analysis of univariate and multivariate nonstationary time series models. This covers many topics including developing models, model selection, efficient estimation, diagnostics, clustering and prediction. Rebecca is highly motivated by real world problems and has worked with data in a range of fields including Bioinformatics, Energy, Engineering, Environment, Finance, Health, Linguistics and Official Statistics. Rebecca is passionate about ensuring the availability and accessibility of research in the form of open-source software. As part of this they advocate to the statistical community the importance of recognition of research software as an academic output, are co-Editor in Chief of the Journal of Statistical Software and a member of the rOpenSci statistical software peer review board.

To each matroid we associate a class in the Chow ring of the Grassmannian. We develop a new combinatorial approach for computing these Chow classes, by first focusing on snake matroids and then extending our results via valuativity to Lattice path matroids, and further to any matroid. Our main contribution identifies the Poincar¨¦ dual of the Chow class of a snake matroid with a specific ribbon Schur function, providing an explicit formula for its coefficients in the Schubert basis as the number of standard Young tableaux of a given shape with a prescribed descent set. As consequences, we recover and simplify classical results such as Gessel--Viennot¡¯s enumeration of permutations with fixed descent sets, and formulas for the volume of lattice path matroids. Furthermore, we use our results to show that certain Schubert coefficients are positive for all connected paving matroids.
