Research

I am interested on Bayesian Analysis, especially on Bayesian Nonparametric models. My research is based on exploring innovative approaches in model-based clustering. I am currently working on:

• Bayesian clustering methods with high dimensional data;

• Multivariate time series with change point detection.

• Topic modelling techniques with distributions defined on the simplex.
