Noah Harding Professor and Chair of Statistics, Rice University
Dr. Vannucci received a Laurea (B.S.) in Mathematics in 1992 and a Ph.D. in Statistics in 1996, both from the University of Florence, Italy. Prior to joining Rice in 2007, she was Research Fellow at the University of Kent at Canterbury, UK, during 1996-1998. In 1998 she joined the Department of Statistics at Texas A&M University, TX, as Assistant Professor, became Associate Professor in 2003 and Full Professor in 2005. Dr. Vannucci was the recipient of an NSF CAREER award in 2001. She is an elected Member of the International Statistical Institute (ISI) and an elected Fellow of the American Statistical Association (ASA), the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS), the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and the International Society for Bayesian Analysis (ISBA).
Research Interests
Dr. Vannucci is generally interested in the development of statistical models for complex problems. Her methodological research has focused in particular on the theory and practice of Bayesian variable selection techniques and on the development of wavelet-based statistical models and their application. She has also done recent work is in the area of graphical models. Dr. Vannucci's research has often been motivated by real problems that needed to be addressed with suitable statistical methods. Methodologies developed by Dr. Vannucci have found applications in chemometrics and, more recently, in high-throughput genomics and in neuroimaging. Dr. Vannucci has also an interest in structural bioinformatics and, in particular, on the important problem of protein structure prediction.
Theory and Methods: Bayesian variable selection, Graphical Models, Statistical Computing, Wavelets.
Applications: Chemometrics, Large-scale Genomic data, Neuroimaging, Structural Bioinformatics.
WELCOME TO YOUR PRESIDENTIAL YEAR, Marina Vannucci!
