About Me
I am a Postdoc researcher in Statistics at AAU (Alpen-Adria Universität) in Klagenfurt. I have recently obtained my PhD from the Department of Statistics (DISIA) at the
University of Florence, under the supervision of Prof.
Monia Lupparelli
(University of Florence, Department of Statistics) and Prof.
Mauro Bernardi
(University of Padova, Department of Statistics).
During my PhD, I had the opportunity to enrich my research experience with a visiting period at the
Statistics Group
of Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) in Barcelona, supervised by Prof.
David Rossell.

My research interests include:
- Bayesian Inference
- Dynamic networks
- Time series and dynamic models
- Computational methods
- Applications in economics, biology and environmental sciences
