Research interests

I am interested in applied and methodological aspects of medical statistics, particularly in nutrition, renal and cancer research. Current lines of research include: statistical modelling of multivariate dependent data, dealing with excess zeros and measurement error in nutritional epidemiology, graphical Markov modelling and statistical analysis of time-to-event data.

Education

PhD in Statistics, University of Cambridge, 2004

Master in Statistics, CIMAT, Guanajuato, 1998

BSc in Actuarial Sciences, University of the Americas-Puebla, 1995
