About me
Matteo Bottai, Sc.D., is Professor and Head of the Unit of Biostatistics and the Director of the Biostatistics Core Facility at Karolinska Institutet. He received his doctoral degree from Harvard University, USA. He has coauthored numerous papers in theoretical statistics, (e.g. Bernoulli, Biometrika), applied statistics (e.g. Biostatistics, Statistical Modeling, Statistics in Medicine), computational statistics (e.g. Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation, Stata Journal), epidemiology (e.g. Epidemiology, American Journal of Epidemiology, and European Respiratory Journal), and medicine (e.g. British Medical Journal, Heart, Environmental Health Perspectives). He has served as reviewer for several statistical and medical journals (e.g. Journal of the American Statistical Association, Journal of the Royal Statistical Society B, Journal of Multivariate Analysis, Biometrics, American Journal of Epidemiology, Journal of Internal Medicine). His current research focuses on statistical methods for inference on quantiles (e.g. parametric quantile process models, linear quantile mixed models, logistic quantile regression). He served as Head of the Division of Biostatistics at the University of South Carolina, member of the Faculty Senate at the University of South Carolina, and President of the South Carolina Chapter of the American Statistical Association. He was a recipient of the Fulbright Scholarship and of three Visiting Professor Awards. He is Adjunct Professor at the University of South Carolina and an elected member of the Delta Omega Honorary Society in Public Health.
