Welcome to my page

I am an applied statistician, with focus on modelling event history processes, with applications in medicine, epidemiology, health science and family demography. 

Currently I am working as Statistical Analyst in the laboratory of Fertility and Well-Being at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research. Previously, I have conducted my PhD research in the laboratory of Statistical Demography at the same institute, and in the department of Biomedical Data Science at the Leiden University Medical Center, in The Netherlands. 

In my PhD project I develop survival models with several time scales, under the supervision of Prof. Hein Putter and Dr. Jutta Gampe, and in collaboration with Dr. Paul Eilers.

Here you can find information about my research outputs and about various activities that I have been involved to.

My methodological interests are in survival analysis,  statistical modelling and smoothing.

Before starting my PhD in Statistics, I worked as a Statistical Analyst for the research group Gender Gaps in Health and Survival. During this period, I conducted research based on the Danish register data, focusing on health patterns at the end-of-life and gender differences in mortality. I have also investigated how the marital age difference is associated with women's income. The results of these projects are published in high-ranked demographic and public health journals.

From December 2020 to November 2021 I was on maternity leaves, after having welcomed my son Luca.
