Background
- 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
