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 an assistant professor of Statistics at the Mathematical Institute of Leiden University, where I lead a small research group in computational statistics and biostatistics 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. Prior to my appointment at the Mathematical Institute, I worked as a 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.

Currently, my main research interests include:

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

Further interests of mine include statistical network science and high-dimensional inference.
