Academic Achievements
- Published several papers including works on spatial ARCH model, spatial volatility models, regularized estimation & CV strategies; proposed an adaptive LASSO estimation procedure to fully recover the unknown weight matrix of spatial autoregressive panels with locally varying mean levels; developed a fully data-driven statistical model to understand the spatial and temporal evolution of coastal profiles; established a novel spatial GARCH process in a unified framework which also covers all previously proposed spatial ARCH models; ranked 4th worldwide in his main research area on Scopus and 1st among UK researchers.
Research Experience
- Since July 2024, Professor of Statistics and Data Science at the School of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Glasgow; Associate Professor (Reader) from 2023 to 2024 at the same university; recognized as a Senior Fellow of Recognising Excellence in Teaching (RET) at the University of Glasgow in June 2025; Guest Professor at the Department of Engineering and Applied Sciences, University of Bergamo, Italy; Assistant Professor of Big Geospatial Data at the Institute of Cartography and Geoinformatics, Leibniz University Hannover from 2019 to 2023; Visiting Professor of Spatial Data Analysis and Statistical Learning at the University of Göttingen during the 2020-2021 academic year; previously led a junior research group focused on detecting and monitoring spatial and spatiotemporal clusters at the Viadrina Center B/ORDERS IN MOTION at the European University in Frankfurt (Oder).
