I am an Associate Professor at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Brazil, a position I have held since 2011. I obtained my PhD in Statistics in 2010 from the University of Warwick (UK), where I completed the thesis “On Flexible Modelling of Spatiotemporal Processes”. From 2019 to 2020, I was a Research Fellow at the Applied Statistics & Risk Unit (AS&RU), University of Warwick. Between 2022 and 2024, I served as a member of the Board of Directors of the International Society for Bayesian Analysis (ISBA). My research focuses on Bayesian artificial intelligence, inference for spatiotemporal processes, robust statistical modelling, mortality forecasting, and Bayesian econometrics.
