PhD Student in Statistical Sciences @ University of Padova

About Me

Welcome! I am a PhD student at the University of Padova, working under the supervision of Francesco Denti.

My work centers on the development of flexible probabilistic models that can adapt their complexity to the data, with the aim of extracting meaningful structure from complex and high-dimensional datasets.

My research interests include variable selection, model-based clustering and nonparametric regression, with a strong emphasis on methodological development and theoretical validation of advanced statistical models. I have solid computational skills in R and Python, which I use for statistical modeling, data analysis and simulation algorithms, especially for posterior inference. I am highly motivated by interdisciplinary research environments and enthusiastic about contributing to team-based projects that address applied research questions through modern statistical and data science approaches.
