Instructor
Brigham and Women's Hospital Division of Pharmacoepidemiology and Pharmacoeconomics
I am a Junior Faculty at Harvard University, within the Division of Pharmacoepidemiology and Pharmacoeconomics of the Brigham and Women’s Hospital & Harvard Medical School.
Before, I was a postdoctoral research fellow in Statistics at the Harvard-MIT Center for Regulatory Science (CRS) at Harvard Medical School (HMS). I have also been part of Prof. Lorenzo Trippa’s group at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) in the Department of Data Sciences and collaborated with Prof. Jeff Miller of the Department of Biostatistics, Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH).
I obtained my Ph.D. in Statistics at the University of Padova (Italy), where I worked on Bayesian methods for tensor factorization models under the supervision of Prof. Bruno Scarpa. During my Ph.D. I spent about one year and a half as a visiting research scholar at Duke University, NC, USA, working under the supervision of Prof. David B. Dunson.
My main research interests include Bayesian statistics; Tensor factorization for categorical variables; Hierarchical models; Decision theory; Analysis and design of clinical trials; Machine learning; and, Computational statistics.
