about – Lorenzo Rimella

# Education and work
I completed my B.Sc. in Mathematics for Finance and Insurance; and M.Sc. in Stochastics and Data Science; at UNITO (Università degli Studi di Torino) in the metropolitan city of Torino (capital of the Kingdom of Italy in 1861). During my postgraduate studies, I was also an "Allievo" at Collegio Carlo Alberto, which awarded me with a Master in Statistics and Applied Mathematics. From September 2017 to May 2021 I was lucky enough to be a PhD student at the University of Bristol amazingly supervised by Prof. Nick Whiteley. During my PhD I was also an enrichment student at The Alan Turing Institute of London. From April 2021 to March 2024 I was a Senior Research Associate at Lancaster University working on the development of new statistical methodologies with a focus on epidemiological applications, where I also served as the organizer of the Computational Statistics and Machine Learning (CSML) reading group at Lancaster University. Currently I hold a postdoc ("assegnista") at UNITO and I am also affiliated to Collegio Carlo Alberto. If you are interested you can find my CV here.

# Personal interests
I enjoy hiking in the nature especially when it is challenging. I have climbed nine of the 82 summits of the Alps that are above 4000 metres and I hope to continue climbing more as long as my legs and climate change permit. Since I was a teenager, training is part of my life, but only in the last few years I started focusing more on weightlifting and a well-balanced diet. Along with hiking and weightlifting, I am also a big fan of climbing and calisthenics. Like many scientists, I take board games seriously, especially if they are complex and competitive. For any fellow nerds reading this, I would highly recommend the following games:
