Biography
Highlights
I obtained my PhD in Statistical Signal and Image Processing at the University of Nice (France) in 2006, working on theoretical aspects of robust estimation methods and their application to image processing. In 2007 I joined the Signal Processing Group at Technische Universität Darmstadt (Germany), where I worked on developing robust methods for tracking wireless terminals in realistic environments. I joined the diagnostic imaging group within the Statistics Department at UCC in 2008. I am now a Senior Lecturer in Statistics at the School of Mathematical Sciences, a Funded Investigator with the SFI Insight Centre for Data Analytics, and Head of Discipline (Statistics).

Research Interests
My research interests combine theoretic and applicative aspects of statistical learning, computational statistics, and data-driven estimation methods. My work primarily focuses on predictive modelling techniques, with specific focus on multi-omics for healthcare, and more generally methodologies for the analysis of wide data.
Recent contributions include the development of a 3D-coherent model of volumetric tumour activity derived from PET imaging data, and the definition of molecular uptake gradients, which are statistical summaries extracted from this model to create novel biomarkers for non-invasive assessment. This research aims at creating opportunities to improve tumour characterization and patient prognosis, and stems from clinical collaborations in Ireland and the USA.
Other past and current research projects include the development of machine learning methodologies for non-life insurance modelling, and forecasting models for granular fintech data. I also enjoy collaborations in the field of renewable energies.
