Biography
I was born in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1985. I joined the University of Edinburgh in December 2016 as a Lecturer in Statistics and was promoted to Reader in August 2023. Prior to this, I spent four years in Chile (2012–2016) as an Assistant Professor of Statistics at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile.
Qualifications
PhD in Statistics, Universidade de Lisboa, 2012
MSc in Applied Mathematics, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, 2008
BSc in Applied Mathematics, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, 2007
Research Interests
My research primarily focuses on biostatistics, particularly on the statistical evaluation of biomarkers and diagnostic tests. I work in both Bayesian and frequentist (nonparametric) statistics, with a stronger preference for the former.
