Domenico Marinucci

Domenico Marinucci (PhD, London) was born in Rome in 1968. Since 2007 he is Professor of Probability and Mathematical Statistics in the Department of Mathematics, University of Rome “Tor Vergata”. He was Director of the Department from 2007 to 2015, Member of the Evaluation Committee from 2004 to 2007, Academic Senator from 2012 to 2015; in 2011 he was a member of the Commission that drafted the new Statute of the University ex. L. 240/2010.

His research interests focus in the analysis of random fields and their application to Cosmology; on these topics, he was Principal Investigator of the ERC Grant PASCAL: Probabilistic and Statistical Techniques for Cosmological Applications (2011-2016). From 2017 to 2020, he was Vice President of the International Astrostatistics Association; he is a member or associate of numerous collaborations in cosmology, including those related to the Planck and Euclid (ESA) satellites of the European Space Agency. He is currently (2021) Principal Investigator of the MIUR-Departments of Excellence Math@ToV Project. Since 2016 he is Editor in Chief of the Electronic Journal of Statistics (expiring in December 2021); he was previously Associate Editor of the Journal of Multivariate Analysis and Statistics and Probability Letters.

He has been an invited speaker at many of the most important conferences in his field, including the European Congress of Mathematics in 2020. He is the author of a book on random fields on the sphere for Cambridge University Press, and of about 100 papers in journals of Probability, Mathematical Statistics, Analysis, Physics, and Cosmology; he is among the 23 international researchers who have achieved the so-called Annals Quadfecta, i.e. to be able to publish in the four most prestigious journals of Probability and Statistics – IMS. According to Google Scholar, he is among the 50 most cited researchers in the world in the field of Probability.
