Umberto Picchini

Studierektor at Applied Mathematics and Statistics

I am Associate Professor in Mathematical Statistics at the Department of Mathematical Sciences, Gothenburg University and Chalmers University of Technology. My research is mainly devoted to statistical inference for dynamical systems and stochastic processes, especially stochastic differential equations (SDEs). Applied work focuses on stochastic mathematical modelling of biomedical issues. My research topics are: Monte Carlo methods in Statistics, Bayesian inference, approximate Bayesian computation (ABC); methods for intractable likelihoods; inference for hierarchical (mixed-effects) models defined by SDEs.
