Teaching
My teaching is centered on statistical modeling and data analysis for social research. I regularly teach courses on regression modeling, text mining, and statistical computing with R. I have also taught more specialized topics, such as network data analysis and fuzzy data analysis, in graduate, doctoral, and visiting-teaching contexts.
Current courses, syllabi, schedules, and official teaching information are maintained through the institutional platforms of the University of Padova. See the Course Catalogue Unipd for current course information.
Thesis supervision
For undergraduate and master theses, possible topics are usually defined within the broader area of applied statistics and statistical modeling, with applications to empirical data analysis and statistical computing with R.
Students interested in thesis supervision are encouraged to contact me with a short description of their background, tentative research question or dataset, and expected timeline. Thesis topics are defined case by case and may, when appropriate, be connected to ongoing research projects.
Prospective PhD students
Prospective PhD students interested in working on topics related to my current research lines may contact me to discuss possible research interests or project alignment. A non-exhaustive overview of topics related to my current research interests is available here.
Admission procedures, calls, deadlines, and formal requirements are described on the official webpage of the PhD programme in Statistical Sciences.
