Associate Professor of Statistics for Social Sciences at the University of Padova
Affiliated with the GNCS research group of INdAM (Istituto Nazionale di Alta Matematica)
Long-standing focus on fuzzy statistics, particularly developing methods to address non-stochastic measurement error in social and behavioral data modeling
Research includes latent structure estimation models to decouple measurement information in structured and unstructured survey data
Strong interest in Bayesian methodologies for modeling complex social and behavioral data, including approximate and computationally intensive inference approaches
Recently extended research interests to text and network data to integrate diverse sources and uncover complex patterns in social phenomena
