A full pdf version of my CV is available here.
I am an Assistant Professor of Statistical Sciences (Italian RTT) at the Department of Economics, Management and Statistics (DEMS), at the University of Milano-Bicocca (UniMiB) and a Research and Teaching Fellow at Bocconi University.

My principal research interests lie in Bayesian nonparametric theory and methodology, with a focus on
symmetry properties of multivariate random partitions,
dependent random measures and stochastic processes,
dynamic models, change-point detection, and network data analysis
biostatistics, social sciences, and financial econometrics applications.

I completed my PhD in Statistics in 2022 at Bocconi University, under the supervision of Antonio Lijoi and Igor Prünster. After my PhD, I was a Research Fellow at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) and a member of the Division of Biomedical Data Science (BiDS), led by Maria De Iorio, at the National University of Singapore (NUS). Until recently, I was a Junior Assistant Professor (Italian RTDA) at the Bocconi Institute for Data Science and Analytics, Bocconi University, Italy. I served on the board of the Junior Section of ISBA (j-ISBA) in 2023 and 2024, holding the position of Chair in 2024.
