Faculty Profile
Michele Peruzzi, PhD
Assistant Professor, Biostatistics
I am interested in the development of Bayesian methods for multivariate correlated
data, with a specific focus on geostatistics for environmental health applications
as well as on imaging and high resolution sensor data. In addition to methods development,
I am active in building new software packages for reproducible and scalable statistical
analyses of large scale datasets.

My research interests include spatial statistics, Bayesian methods, models for complex
sensor data, environmental health, and climate change.
My current projects involve the development of scalable Bayesian methods for (1) analyzing complex, correlated, multivariate high resolution sensor data, including satellite imaging, air quality sensors, and medical imaging; (2) characterizing complex interaction effects in response surface models for large scale health data; (3) understanding the impacts of climate change on natural ecosystems and human health.
