Professor of Econometrics at Ca' Foscari University of Venice, since 2019 and Director of the Venice Centre in Economic and Risk Analytics (VERA), since 2020.
I am Co-chair of the European Society of Bayesian Econometrics (ESOBE), lifetime member and Fellow of the International Society for Bayesian Analysis (ISBA), Chair Elected of the EFaB section of ISBA, and a board member of the PhD program in Economics (SSE), the Master in Data Analytics for Business and Societies (DABS), and the Master in Quantum Machine Learning (QML).
Previously, I was an Associate and Assistant Professor at Ca' Foscari University of Venice, University of Brescia, an adjunct professor at University of Trieste, a research assistant at University of Padova, and a research fellow at GRETA Associates. I have been a visiting scholar at the University of Toronto, the Paris-Sud University, the University of Bristol, and the Paris-Dauphine University.
I received a Ph.D. in Mathematics (Mathematical Statistics) in 2008, from University Paris Dauphine and CEREMADE-CNRS, a Ph.D. in Economics (Econometrics) in 2003 from the University Ca' Foscari of Venice, a M.Sc. in Applied Mathematics from University of Paris Dauphine - ENSAE and a Master in Economics from the Ca' Foscari University of Venice.
It is mainly in Bayesian analysis: Bayesian nonparametrics and semiparametric statistical inference, Monte Carlo simulation methods, time series models, text mining, graphical models, and network analysis. Below is a selection of my research projects. Former and current Ph.D. students at this link.
I am currently a research associate of the centres European Centre for Living Technology (ECLT), member of the scientific societies ISBA, IMS, SSC, ES, SIS and SIdE; the scientific projects GRINS; and the research networks EABCN and ENBIS. I've been an Associate Editor of Econometrics and Statistics and Bayesian Analysis
Impact of my research: MathSciNet, ArXiv, GoogleScholar, SSRN, ORCID, Scopus, RePEc. Find me in the Math Genealogy Project with an Erdős number of 3.
Spare time: I take pleasure in a variety of hobbies, including gardening, photography and exploring geology with a pleasantly ordinary proficiency. I often embark on geological explorations in stunning locations, accompanied by my family: Diana, Benedetta, and Riccardo.
