Eftychia Solea

Dr. Eftychia Solea is a Lecturer in Statistics at the School of Mathematical Sciences, Queen Mary University of London. She holds a PhD in Statistics from Pennsylvania State University (2017), preceded by a MASt in Mathematics from the University of Cambridge (2010) and a BSc in Mathematics from the National Technical University of Athens (2009). Prior to QMUL, she held academic positions at the École Nationale de la Statistique et de l'Analyse de l'Information (ENSAI) in France and conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Bochum (Germany) and the University of Cyprus.

Her research focuses on developing statistical methodologies for analyzing random functions and distributional data, with applications in medical imaging and functional data analysis. Key areas include causal inference, graphical models, nonparametric statistics, and dimension reduction. She emphasizes both theoretical foundations and algorithmic practicality.

Her work has contributed to functional graphical models (e.g., brain networks via fMRI), robust inverse regression for functional data, and high-dimensional rank-based methods. Recent interests include distributional data analysis where observations are probability densities or distribution samples.

She is affiliated with the Centre for Probability, Statistics and Data Science at QMUL. No formal grants or awards are explicitly listed in the provided texts, though her extensive publication record reflects active research engagement.
