Vanda Marisa da Rosa Milheiro Lourenço completed her Ph.D. in Statistics and Stochastic Processes on December 21, 2011, at the University of Lisbon, Instituto Superior Técnico. She obtained her Master's degree in Applied Mathematics on February 24, 2004, also from the University of Lisbon, Instituto Superior Técnico, and her Bachelor's degree in Mathematics on June 19, 1997, from the Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia. She is an Assistant Professor at the Universidade Nova de Lisboa. She has published 14 articles in specialized journals, organized 10 invited sessions at international events, supervised 1 doctoral thesis, and co-supervised 3, one of which has already been defended. She has been involved in 1 project as a researcher and as the responsible researcher for 2 projects. Her work is focused on Exact Sciences with an emphasis on Mathematics, particularly in Statistics and Probabilities. In her professional activities, she has collaborated with 37 colleagues on co-authored scientific papers. The most frequent terms in her CV are Robust Statistics, Genetic Statistics, Mixed Linear Models, Regularization Methods, Genomic Prediction, and Genetic Association Studies. She is affiliated with several statistical societies, in particular the Portuguese Statistical Society (SPE), where she was President of the Supervisory Board (2021-2024), and the Caucus for Women in Statistics (CWS), where she is currently the ‘Portuguese Country Representative for CWS’ and a member of the CWS Nominations Committee. She serves as an Associate Editor for Associate Editor for the Biostatistics and Biometrics Open Access Journal (BBOAJ) since 2017 and has recently been appointed Associate Editor of the Journal of Data Science, Statistics and Visualization (JDSSV) of the ISI International Association for Statistical Computing (starting mid March 2024).
