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 I 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).
