About me

  • I am a statistician (MSc and PhD) with a strong interest in epidemiology and
    health related topics. I am particularly interested in contributing to
    building bridges between epidemiological research and statistical methods,
    and in encouraging researchers to use non-traditional approaches in analysing
    data.
    The main area of interest of my thesis was the nested case-control design. My
    thesis aimed to refine and extend the scope of the weighted likelihood
    approach in nested case-control data analysis by investigating the advantages
    of this method as an alternative to the traditional conditional logistic
    regression. The weighted likelihood approach showed several advantages
    compared to the traditional conditional logistic regression in nested
    case-control data analysis, which reinforced, refined and extended what had
    been previously shown in the literature.
    I am currently working as a statistician in the Unit of Clinical Epidemiology
    at the Department of Medecine of the Karolinska Institute. I am involved in
    studies related to chronic inflammatory diseases [1].

Research

Teaching

  • I have a considerable experience in teaching statistics to undergraduate
    students at both University (Faculty of Medecine) and University College
    levels (Department of Paramedical Studies) in my home country (Belgium) for
    15 years.
    I have been involved in the following teaching activities at graduate and
    undergraduate levels since 2013 at KI and other Universities:
    * Basic courses in statistics at KI (biostat I and VetU)
    * Logistic regression at KI (biostat II)
    * Survival analysis at KI (biostat III)
    * Extensions to the design and analysis of case-control studies at
    University of Milano-Bicocca
