Dr. Angela Carollo

Welcome to my page

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the laboratory of Fertility and Well-Being at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research. I am also the Deputy PI of the BIOSFER project.

My research focuses primarily on modelling event history processes, with applications in medicine, epidemiology and family demography.

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.

My PhD project developed survival models with multiple time scales, under the supervision of Prof. Hein Putter and Prof. Jutta Gampe, and in collaboration with Prof. 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, statistical learning and smoothing. My applied research covers topics ranging from cancer mortality to partnership's trajectories. Recently I developed an interest in applications of statistical learning methodologies, like statistical boosting, to modelling event history processes.

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.

As statistician I have the incredible privilege to be able to study very different, seemingly unrelated, topics; in my master thesis I studied earthquakes! Nowadays, I mostly study humans...

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