Academic Achievements
- Awards: Susie Bayarri Lecture [ISBA], COPSS Emerging Leader Award [COPSS], Leonardo da Vinci Medal [Ministry of University and Research], Mitchell Prize (twice) [ISBA and ASA], Laplace prize [SBSS Section of ASA], Byar Award [Biometrics Section of ASA], Early-Career Scholar Award for Contributions to Statistics [SIS], ISBA Lifetime Members Junior Researcher Award [ISBA], Ph.D. Thesis Award in Statistics [SIS]. In 2019–2023, I have been co–PI of the PRIN–MIUR 2017 grant 'Unfolding the SEcrets of Longevity: Current Trends and future prospects' [SELECT]. Recently awarded two research grants [NEMESIS and CARONTE] aimed at providing substantial advancements in statistical modeling of complex data from criminology [NEMESIS] and demography [CARONTE].
Research Experience
- Prior to joining Bocconi University in 2017, I was a Post–Doctoral Fellow in the Department of Statistical Sciences at the University of Padova. During my Ph.D. experience, I was a Visiting Research Scholar [2014–2015] in the Department of Statistical Sciences at Duke University [USA]. I am also an Associate Editor of Biometrika, the Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics, and the Journal of Multivariate Analysis.
Education
- Ph.D. in Statistics from the University of Padova [2016], supervised by Professor Bruno Scarpa and co-supervised by Professor David B. Dunson; M.Sc. in Statistics from the University of Padova [2012].
Background
- Research Interests: Network Science, Bayesian Methods and Computation, Categorical Data, Latent Variables Models. Short Bio: Welcome to my personal webpage! I am an Associate Professor of Statistics in the Department of Decision Sciences at Bocconi University [Italy] and a Research Affiliate to the Bocconi Institute for Data Science and Analytics, the DONDENA Centre for Research on Social Dynamics and Public Policy, and the Laboratory for Coronavirus Crisis Research.
Miscellany
- In 2018, I was invited to give a TEDx talk on the Hidden Geometry of our Relations, and I chaired the sections j–ISBA and y–SIS. As the chair of these groups, I organized several sessions at scientific conferences, and I joined the scientific and local organizing committees of different meetings, such as SUR2017, SIS2018, SIS2019, BAYSM2018, and ISBA2024. I am also the founder and one of the leading organizers of the Data Science hackathons series Stats under the Stars, where I chaired the first [SUS1] and fifth [SUS5] edition. In the occasion of SUS5, I proposed and developed [in collaboration with BUILT] the Bocconi Data Science Challenge platform. For this platform, I received the Bocconi Innovation in Teaching Award in 2020. Throughout the years, I have also served in the ASA Scientific Committee for the Laplace Award [2018], in the IMS Committee on Nominations [2020], as Vice-Chair [2021] and Chair [2022] of the Blackwell-Rosenbluth Award by ISBA, in the ISBA Board of Directors [2024-2026], and in the European Regional Committee of the Bernoulli Society [2025-2029].
