Congratulations to PhD students Hollie Johnson and Matthew Edwards, each being awarded an NCAR 2017 Advanced Study Program Fellowship.
Background
I obtained my BSc and MSc in Mathematical Engineering at the Politecnico di Milano in 2005 and 2007 respectively. After a 6 months fellowship at the same institution, I moved to the University of Chicago where I obtained my PhD in Statistics in 2013 under the supervision of Prof. Michael Stein. In 2013 I moved to Saudi Arabia, to King Abdullah University of Science and Technology where I was a Postdoctoral Fellow working with Prof. Marc Genton. Since 2014 I am a Lecturer at Newcastle University.
Research interests
My main research area is statistical application to climate, and I am particularly interested in the development of statistical models that can act as fast surrogate (emulators) to Earth System Models in a scenario/initial condition ensemble. I am also interested in development of efficient algorithms for fitting very large data set both in the context of Gaussian Processes and of Spatial Extremes.
