I am an Associate Professor of Statistics at the Faculty of Economics and Management, Free University of Bozen-Bolzano (Italy).
My research focuses on developing flexible statistical methodologies for modeling high-dimensional and complex structured data, arising in diverse applications. I am particularly interested in latent variable models and the density-based formulation of the clustering problem, including model-based and modal clustering techniques. I also work on the methodological challenges posed by specific data types such as spectroscopic data. My interests include graphical models, variable selection and dimensionality reduction, inferential procedures in high-dimensional settings, computational statistics, and applications in chemometrics.
