I am an Assistant Professor (tenure-track) of Statistics at the Department of Mathematics and Physics, University of Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli”. I hold a Ph.D. from the University of Naples “Federico II” and I serve on the faculty board of the Doctoral School in Social and Economic Sciences at Sapienza University of Rome.
My main expertise is in computational statistics and time series analysis, with a focus on clustering and forecasting. I develop statistical methods for complex temporal data, including hierarchical, interval-valued and distributional time series, as well as spatial and networked time series. Applications span multiple domains, primarily econometrics and finance, but also environmetrics, sports analytics, and industrial systems.
I have published over 50 peer-reviewed articles in scientific journals, including the International Journal of Forecasting, Quantitative Finance, Annals of Operations Research, Computational Statistics, and Spatial Statistics, among others. According to ResearchGate, I am ranked among the top 2% of worldwide scholars (across all fields) with the first paper published in 2018. ScholarGPS places me in the top 10% of researchers in statistics, and in the top 2% considering the last five years of activity.
I serve as Associate Editor for the journals Communications in Statistics - Theory and Methods and Operations Research Forum.
I have mainly taught courses in statistics and statistical computing, statistical learning, time series analysis and forecasting, experimental statistics and applied econometrics. I am a consultant and member of the International Institute of Forecasters, and a member of both the International Statistical Institute and Italian Statistical Society.
