Florencia Leonardi

Here you can find some information about me and my work.

My main area of research is Probabilty and Statistics. Specifically, I am interested  in statistical inference for stochastic processes, random networks and graphs, high dimensional statistics, change-point detection and statistical learning.

Since 2008 I work at Departamento de Estatística,  Instituto de Matemática e Estatística Universidade de São Paulo.

I coordinate the international cooperation research project "Probabilistic and statistical properties of stochastic processes on graphs and networks", financed by CNPq. I am principal investigator of FAPESP's projects Neuromat - Research, Innovation and Dissemination Center for Neuromathematics and thematic project "Stochastic Systems Modeling", also supported by FAPESP.

I am an elected member of the International Statistical Institute (ISI) and member of Bernoulli Society and Sociedade Brasileira de Matemática. I am Associate Editor of the Latin American Journal of Probability and Statistics (ALEA), Brazilian Journal of Probability and Statistics and Ensaios Matemáticos.

In 2013 I won the L’Oréal-UNESCO-ABC prize “For women in science” in the area of Mathematics.
