I am interested in supervising PhD students for topics focusing on the development of semiparametric methods for observational data affected by endogeneity and sample selection, or any topics proposed in the area of nonparametric and semiparametric regression. Real data applications are typically in the fields of economics, environmetrics and biostatistics. Please look at my research webpages and published papers to get a better feeling about my interests. Informal enquiries can be addressed to me.
