I am an Associate Professor of Statistics for Social Sciences at the University of Padova (DPSS) and member of the INdAM research group GNCS.

My research primarily concentrates on fuzzy statistics, with a particular focus on developing statistical methods to model multiple sources of uncertainty in data representation. I am also fascinated by the problem of decoupling latent information from both structured and unstructured data commonly encountered in social sciences (e.g., survey data, textual data) by means of both standard as well as non-standard statistical methods of estimation (e.g., Information Theory-based techniques).

I pursued doctoral studies at the University of Trento and KU Leuven. During my post-doctoral tenure, I worked with the Wigner Research Centre for Physics (NAP-B PATTERN Research Group), a unit of the Hungarian Academy of Science (MTA).

I am enthusiastic about promoting the principles of Slow Science.
