ABOUT ME
I am a postdoc fellow at the Department of Statistics, Computer Science and Applications "G. Parenti" of the University of Florence and the proud leader of a team composed of Giulio, Cristian, and I, working on "Bayesian Methods for Clinical and Observational Studies" (for more info, go to BayesMeCOS).
My research interests go from official statistics to causal inference. Since my PhD (under the supervision of Brunero Liseo), I have developed methodologies for population size estimation via integration of multiple sources and in the presence of coverage errors. I am particularly devoted to the study of noncentral hypergeometric distributions for not-at-random missing data problems, which have almost infinite potential applications in economics and official statistics. On the causal side, I work on the formalization and implementation of models for causal analysis in randomized clinical trials with noncompliance, social experiments, and socioeconomic observational studies, with a causal team led by Fabrizia Mealli.
Since last year, I have joined the board of the Young SIS (Società Italiana di Statistica) and now I am trying to do my best as national coordinator.
