I am currently a Post-Doc at the Department of Mathematics at Politecnico di Milano, working with Alessandra Guglielmi.
My research interest mainly focuses on Bayesian nonparametrics and spatial models. In particular, during my PhD I have been focusing on the development of efficient and scalable algorithms for Bayesian nonparametrics models for the analysis of massive spatial and spatio-temporal data.
During these years, I had the opportunity to collaborate with amazing people: together with Alessandra Guglielmi, my supervisor, I have collaborated, among others, with Raffaele Argiento from Università di Bergamo, Lucia Paci from Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore and Fernando Quintana form Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, whom I had the pleasure to work with during my visiting period in Chile.
I am currently in the board of young SIS (y-SIS), the young group of the Italian Statistical Society.
