After completing both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Mathematics at the University of Trento (Italy), I have done a PhD in statistics at the Polytechnic University of Turin (Italy). My doctoral research primarily focused on Bayesian statistics applied to scRNA-seq data for estimating RNA velocity. Additionally, I worked on statistical tests for high-dimensional semicontinuous data and chemical reaction networks. During my PhD, I also spent a research period in Catalina Vallejos’s Lab at the University of Edinburgh, where I worked on survival analysis and investigated the impact of delayed diagnosis on survival outcomes. Here in Oxford, I am a member of the Pioneer Centre for SMARTbiomed and of the Department of Statistics, working under the supervision of Professor Peter Visscher and Professor Pier Palamara.
