Research
My research focuses on the development of flexible statistical
methodologies to model high-dimensional and complex structured data,
arising from different applied frameworks. More specifically, I am
particularly interested on latent variable models, on the density-based
formulation of the clustering problem and on the challenges arising when
dealing with spectroscopic data. Recently, I started working on
inferential problems arising in high-dimensional settings as for example
when dealing with spatio-temporal data.
My main research interests
are:
- Mixture models and model-based clustering
- Modal clustering
- Graphical models
- Variable selection and dimensionality reduction
- Latent variable models
- Inferential procedure for high-dimensional data
- Computational statistics
- Chemometrics
