Presenter

Stefano Castruccio is an associate professor of statistics at the University of Notre Dame. His main area of research focuses on the development of computational methods for spatio-temporal models for environmental applications, with applications spanning from assessment of renewable energy resources to assessing mortality from air pollution. His focus is mostly on climate and weather models, and the use of statistical models that can act as a stochastic approximation to provide a computationally affordable assessment of parameter sensitivity analysis. His methodological research is focused on the development of space-time machine learning models, and on scalable multi-resolution algorithms for high-dimensional processes.
