I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Statistics at the University of California, Irvine. I work with Prof. Michele Guindani (now at UCLA) and Prof. Weining Shen. I have also been working with Prof. Federico Camerlenghi and Prof. Mario Beraha since my visit to the Department of Economics, Management and Statistics at the University of Milano-Bicocca in Milan, Italy, in 2025.

My research interests include Bayesian nonparametrics, random partition models, random measures, point processes, repulsive mixture models, and spatio-temporal and functional data analysis. ` `
