Research
I completed my PhD in
Statistics at McGill University in 2006.
My research interests are in survival
analysis and other medical applications of statistics. My
thesis
(pdf)
is entitled, "Stationarity in a
prevalent cohort study with follow-up". Here is a related paper which I co-authored on testing the
assumptions for the analysis of survival data arising from a
prevalent cohort study.
I have been interested in statistical methods for
post-election audits. Here is a paper (pdf)
I co-authored on the
subject, published in The
American Statistician in 2008.
I am also interested in sports statistics. I
have worked with undergraduate students on numerous projects,
including adjusted plus-minus ratings in the NBA, the
relative age effect phenomenon, and quantifying the effects of
steroid
usage in Major League Baseball.
For a complete list of my publications, please see my CV.

Personal
I was raised in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and am the son of
Italian immigrants. I am thus fluent in both French and
Italian. My wife Isadora is from Golden,
Colorado, and she completed her PhD in School Psychology at
the University of Minnesota.
In May 2013, we welcomed a new addition to our family, our first child,
Fabian. In June 2015, we were overjoyed to add a beautiful
daughter,
Lucia. We love spending
time together as a family (with our cat, Grigia) and making each
other laugh.
As a proud Canadian, I am a huge hockey fan (Isadora loves the
Colorado Avalanche and my favorite team is the Montreal
Canadiens, of course). I also love football (NY
Jets)
and baseball (although I still haven't been able to adopt a new
team after the departure of my beloved Expos
from Montreal).
