Kristian Romano
Short Bio
I grew up in Gragnano, a small town near Naples in Italy, famous for its pasta. I moved to Milan for my BSc and MSc. I spent a quarter in the USA as exchange student during the BSc period. I had the privilege to be a Bocconi Institute for Data Science and Analytics (BIDSA) Visting Student under the supervision of professor Antonio Lijoi.
Currently, I am a PhD student in Statistics at the University of Warwick. I work under the supervision of professor Bärbel Finkenstädt on Advanced Hidden Markov Models for Physiological time series data.
I serve as Secretary of the RSS West Midlands Local Group . I used to serve as Chair of the Student Staff Liaison Committee. If you are an incoming/prospective PhD student please feel free to contact me via email.
