Daniele Durante Editor

Raffaele Argiento is an Assistant Professor of Statistics at the Department of Economic, Social, Mathematical and Statistical Sciences (ESOMAS), University of Turin, Italy. He is member of the board for the Ph.D. in Modeling and Data Science at the same University and affiliated to the “de Castro” Statistics initiative hosted by the Collegio Carlo Alberto, Turin. His research focuses on Bayesian parametric and nonparametric methods from both theoretical and applied viewpoints. He is the executive director of the Applied Bayesian Summer School (ABS) and a member of the BAYSM board.

Daniele Durante is an Assistant Professor of Statistics at the Department of Decision Sciences, Bocconi University, Italy, and a Research Affiliate at the Bocconi Institute for Data Science and Analytics (BIDSA). His research is characterized by its use of an interdisciplinary approach at the intersection of Bayesian methods, modern applications, and statistical learning to develop flexible and computationally tractable models for handling complex data. He was the chair of the Junior Section of the International Society for Bayesian Analysis (j-ISBA) in 2018.

Sara Wade is a Lecturer in Statistics and Data Science at the School of Mathematics, University of Edinburgh, UK. Prior to this, she was a Harrison Early Career Assistant Professor of Statistics at the University of Warwick, UK, where she organised and chaired the 4th BAYSM. Her research focuses on Bayesian nonparametrics and machine learning, especially the development of flexible nonparametric priors and efficient inference for complex data.
