Welcome! My name is Mirko Signorelli, and I work as an Assistant Professor of Statistics at Leiden University. On this website, you can find information about my research and academic activities.

Short bio

I currently work as assistant professor in Statistics at the Mathematical Institute of Leiden University, where I conduct research in biostatistics and computational statistics (see next section), and I teach courses in the Bachelor’s programme in Wiskunde (Mathematics) and the Master’s programmes in Mathematics and in Statistics and Data Science.

I received a double PhD in Statistics from the University of Groningen (NL) and from the University of Padova (IT) in 2017. After that, I worked for 4 years as Postdoctoral Researcher in Biostatistics at the Leiden University Medical Center (NL).

Research interests

My research is centered on the development of new statistical methods that are primarily motivated by applied research questions, and on the implementation of such methods in statistical software.

Main research interests:

  • biostatistics and biomedical applications
  • computational statistics
  • dynamic prediction of time to event outcomes
  • high-dimensional inference
  • longitudinal data analysis
  • mixed effects models
  • R programming language
  • statistical network science
  • survival analysis
