About

I am a Senior Assistant Professor in Statistics (RTD-b) at the Department of Economics at the University of Bergamo.
Previously, I worked as Junior Assistant Professor at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano and as Postdoctoral Researcher at the University College Dublin (supervisor: Prof. Brendan Murphy, affiliation: Insight SFI Research Centre for Data Analytics, Vistamilk SFI Research Centre).

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
  
• Computational statistics
  
• Chemometrics
