About me

I have a Master degree in Statistics from the Catholic University in Milan, Italy and a PhD in Statistics with concentration in Epidemiology from the University of Milan-Bicocca, Italy. I am interested in the development and application of quantitative methods to health research, with a specific focus on linking official registers data to external environmental and socio-economic auxiliary information, to inform sampling strategies and modelling.

Research

My research interests include finite population sampling - particularly with reference to epidemiological, public health and environmental applications - and data mining and modelling of electronic health records and questionnaire data. I have been working with more traditional statistical methods (item response theory models, generalised linear mixed models, discrete-margins copulas) and more recent statistical/machine learning paradigms. I am willing to supervise PhD students on the following areas:

finite population sampling theory and applications (adaptive sampling, health surveys, environmental sampling)
spatio-temporal modelling of health data (breast cancer screening compliance, environmental and social determinants of health)
development of statistical methods for the analysis of chronic diseases for public health purposes.
