I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Statistics, Mathematical Analysis and Optimization of the University of Santiago de Compostela. I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Mathematics of the KU Leuven. I received my PhD in Statistics and Operations Research at the University of Santiago de Compostela in December 2017, with a dissertation entitled “Assessing Simplifying Hypothesis in Density Estimation”. Before that, I completed a MSc in Statistical Techniques and a BSc in Mathematics.
