Dr Fabio Rigat

I am currently an Associate Fellow at the department of Statistics. Upon completing a PhD in Statistics at ISDS (thesis available here), in 2004 I joined EURANDOM as post-doctoral fellow and in 2006 I moved to CRiSM as a research fellow. Between 2008 and 2011 I joined the faculty at Warwick as an Assistant Professor, jointly appointed by the Statistics department and the Warwick Centre for Analytical Science (WCAS). I have recently joined Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics to further pursue my research interests in statistical vaccinology (see a paper here).

My (old!) CV (02/2012) is available here in pdf format.
