About me
I am a fourth year PhD student of the Warwick Centre for Doctoral Training in Mathematics and StatisticsLink opens in a new window working under the supervision of Dr Thomas BerrettLink opens in a new window on Nonparametric methods for Missing and Heterogenous Data. My research interests include Nonparametric Statistics and Statistical Learning Theory.
Before joining the CDT programme in Warwick, I obtained a M.Sc. in Stochastics and Data Science at the University of Turin, working under the supervision of Prof. Stefano FavaroLink opens in a new window and a B.Sc. in Mathematics at the University of Turin, during which I was recipient of the INdAMLink opens in a new window scholarship.

Service
I have reviewed for the Annals of Statistics, Bernoulli, the Journal of Business & Economic Statistics, and the Journal of Statistical Planning and Inference.
Teaching and other activities
In the a.y. 2023-24, I was the organiser of the Stats Football sessions. Also, I was graduate teaching assistant for ST412-15/ST323-15 Multivariate Statistics and ST420-15 Statistical Learning and Big Data.Link opens in a new window
In the a.y. 2022-23, I used to organise the Empirical Process Theory Reading GroupLink opens in a new window, together with Alexander KentLink opens in a new window, and I was one of the tutors for ST219-12 Mathematical Statistics Part B.Link opens in a new window
