Vanda Inacio is Reader in Statistics at the School of Mathematics of the University of Edinburgh since 2016. Previously, she was an Assistant Professor at PUC Chile (2012–2016). Vanda received a PhD in Statistics from Universidade de Lisboa and a BSc in Applied Mathematics from Universidade Nova de Lisboa. Her main research interests are Bayesian (nonparametric) statistics, computational statistics, and biostatistics, with an emphasis on the statistical evaluation of medical tests. Vanda’s work has been published in some of the top-tier journals in the field, like Annals of Applied Statistics, Bayesian Analysis, Biostatistics, Biometrics, Statistics in Medicine, Statistical Science, and The American Statistician. Vanda is also a co-author of the R package ROCnReg, the only package integrating both frequentist and Bayesian methods for estimation of ROC curves (with and without covariates).
