IMS elections

I am nominated as elected members on IMS Council, and elections are soon happening. If you want to vote for me, please go to the IMS webpages. Here is my statement:

Two important themes: (1) It is time for the IMS, together with the other scientific societies, to strengthen further its international role, supporting statistics and statisticians in the less developed world, starting from Africa. We need to construct opportunities, with particular attention to women and young students. (2) Advanced statistics is a key element in innovation processes in industry, society and science, generating value. More focus has to be given to this aspect of our discipline, in research, training, publication strategy, and scientific policy.


My current research interests include aspects of

  • Highly Structured Stochastic Systems - HSSS
  • Markov chain Monte Carlo methods;
  • Bayesian process-based modeling;
  • space and space-time models;
  • copulae, extreme value theory and its applications;
  • multiple comparisons and testing;
  • merging of complex data sets;
  • statistical genomics;
  • population dynamics

I am currently involved in applied research projects in the following areas:

  • genetics;
  • breast cancer, cervical cancer;
  • infections in salmon farming;
  • brain morphology and fMRI in schizophrenia;
  • antibiotics resistance bacteria;
  • mutltivariate financial data;
  • adaptation to climate change;
  • bioinformatics;
  • insurance;
