Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolManuele Leonelli is an Associate Professor of Statistics based in Madrid with eight years of academic experience specializing in Bayesian statistics, probabilistic graphical models, extreme value theory and decision theory. He has progressed from PhD research at Warwick—where he developed frameworks for integrating expert judgment into emergency management models—to roles at Glasgow and McGill, and now leads research and teaching at IE University. His work bridges rigorous theoretical development and applied machine learning, with a particular interest in combining complex models and expert knowledge for high-stakes decision problems. A strong educator with a top-ranked Italian undergraduate degree and an MSc with distinction, he also brings practical experience from postdoctoral research in Brazil and hands-on statistical tutoring earlier in his career. Less obvious: he balances deep theory with pragmatic Bayesian tools aimed at real-world risk assessment and decision support.
