I am a recently graduated biostatistician with a master’s degree in Statistical Sciences, Health and Population Analytics from Alma Mater Studiorum – University of Bologna, and a bachelor’s degree in Management Statistics from Sapienza University of Rome, both awarded with honours.I am interested in applying statistical modelling to health data to enhance quality of care and support evidence-based decision-making.
During my PhD, I will be involved in raising awareness about the importance of cancer screening among the Romanian population, fostering a trusting and collaborative relationship between individuals, physicians, and researchers, and co-designing actionable screening strategies.
I am currently contributing to the REWINDER project, where I analyse administrative, clinical, and patient-reported data (PROMs) to evaluate diabetes care in the Emilia-Romagna region before and after COVID-19.For my master’s thesis, I compared multivariate risk models and confirmed the strong, bidirectional link between glycaemic control and psychological well-being in diabetes. The work highlighted the importance of integrating PROMs into treatment strategies to advance holistic, personalised, biopsychosocial approaches to care.
Recent contributions include co-authoring an oral presentation at the upcoming XXV AMD (Associazione Medici Diabetologi) National Congress on the multidimensional evaluation of diabetes care, as well as a poster presentation at the XXV National Congress of the AIP (Associazione Italiana di Psicologia), Clinical and Dynamic Psychology Section, on the co-occurrence of type 2 diabetes, depressive symptoms, and diabetes distress.
Motivated by the potential of data analysis to make a tangible difference in people’s lives, I am looking forward to contributing to research that strengthens health systems and promotes equitable, people-centred care.
