This is the personal page of Umberto Picchini, an Associate Professor in Mathematical Statistics at the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Chalmers University of Technology and University of Gothenburg, Sweden. Here is my official university profile.
Let’s get in touch to talk about statistical inference (especially Bayesian), likelihood-free methods for models with intractable likelihoods, and Monte Carlo statistical methods such as MCMC and sequential Monte Carlo, and the application of statistical inference in applied problems.
