About Me

I hold the position of Associate Professor of Statistics (STAT-01/A) within the Department of Economics, Management, and Statistics (DEMS) at the University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy. My academic journey is profoundly anchored in the field of statistical analysis, with a primary focus on compositional data analysis, robust statistics, nonparametric inference, and statistical methods tailored for ecological data. My recent research endeavors prioritize high-dimensional compositional data and the analysis of microbiome data, specifically within the context of sparse regression models aimed at controlling the false discovery rate. Furthermore, I have explored mixture models and Bayesian hierarchical modeling in my prior research.

I am a member of the Italian Statistical Association (SIS) and the International Association for Statistical Computing (IASC-ISI). I contribute to several research centers, including the Health and Environmental Sustainability Research Center (POLARIS), Bicocca Applied Statistics Center (B-ASC), Milan Center for Neuroscience (NeuroMI), and the Bicocca Research Centre in Health Services (BReCHS). I have been elected Vice President of the CODA Association for the 2025–2029 term.

Since 2024, I have been an Associate Editor for the journal Statistical Methods and Applications, contributing to the peer review process and advancing statistical research.
