I am Associate Professor of Statistics for the social sciences in the Department of Statistical Sciences at the University of Padova, and a member of the GNCS research group of INdAM.

I work on statistical models for imprecise, coarsened, and complex data, with emphasis on non-sampling uncertainty due to fuzziness, measurement imprecision, and information loss. Current interests include fuzzy data analysis, Bayesian modeling, and text mining.

I completed my doctoral studies at the University of Trento and KU Leuven, combining psychometrics with statistical modeling for behavioral sciences, and later held a postdoctoral position at the Wigner Research Centre for Physics (MTA) in Budapest.

In my research practice, I am guided by the principles of Slow Science.
