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. in econometrics 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 research spans time series analysis and forecasting, spatial statistics, and clustering of complex data. This includes structured time series, such as spatial, networked, and hierarchical time series, interval-valued data, and regression models with latent cluster structures. Main areas of application cover econometrics and industrial statistics, while more recently I have shifted my focus towards astrostatistics. In this field, my interests include statistical identification and inference under incomplete information, cosmological covariance estimation, and time-series methods for high-energy astrophysics.
I have published over 60 peer-reviewed articles in scientific journals, including the JRSS (Series C), International Journal of Forecasting, International Journal of Approximate Reasoning, Spatial Statistics, and Astronomy and Computing among others. I serve as Associate Editor for the journals Communications in Statistics - Theory and Methods, Communications in Statistics - Simulation and Computation, Operations Research Forum, Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences | Astrostatistics and Cogent Economics & Finance | Econometrics and Data Analytics.
I have taught courses in statistics and statistical computing, statistical learning, time series analysis and forecasting, experimental statistics and applied econometrics. I am a member of the International Institute of Forecasters, the International Statistical Institute and the Italian Statistical Society. I also participate in the LSST Informatics & Statistics Science Collaboration and the Astrostatistics Special Interest Group (ASIG).
