Alejandra Avalos-Pacheco is an Universitätsassistent (Assistant Professor non-tenure track) in the Research Unit of Applied Statistics (ASTAT) at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) and an affiliated member of the Harvard-MIT Center for Regulatory Science (CRS). Previously, she was a research fellow in statistics at the University of Florence. Prior to that, she was a postdoctoral fellow in Statistics at the CRS, Harvard University, and part of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. She holds a Ph.D. in Statistics from OxWASP, a joint program between the University of Warwick and Oxford. Her Ph.D. thesis was granted the 2019 Savage award in Applied Methodology. Her main research interests include high-dimensional inference, data integration and applied Bayesian statistical modelling. She is the current j-ISBA chair and a member of the BAYSM board.
Roberta De Vito is an assistant Professor in the department of Biostatistics and at the Data Science Initiative at Brown University. She completed her Ph.D. in Statistical Science at the University of Padua, advised by Giovanni Parmigiani at Harvard University and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, where she developed her thesis work. Then, she was a postdoc at Princeton University in Barbara Engelhardt’s group where she developed Bayesian and latent variable discrete model in high-dimensional biological and epidemiological data. Her main research interest is latent variable model, Bayesian non parametric, variable selection via sparsity prior, machine learning and big data with particular focus on genomics and epidemiology.
