Maria De Iorio

Maria De Iorio is a Professor at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine and holds a joint appointment at the Faculty of Science, both at the National University of Singapore. Her work bridges statistics, epidemiology, and clinical sciences through advanced Bayesian modeling and computational methods.

• Key research areas: Statistics, Epidemiology, Genetics, Clinical sciences, Medical biochemistry
• Primary affiliations: Paediatrics department (YLLSoM) and interdisciplinary projects in Science faculty
• Recent publications focus on extreme value theory, digital numismatics, metabolomic simulations, and maternal-child health

Her statistical innovations include:

• Repulsive mixture models for interpretable clustering
• Bayesian semi-parametric approaches for longitudinal studies
• Novel prior distributions for graphical models

Application domains span:

• Pediatric oncology (ALL treatment response modeling)
• Metabolic syndrome analysis (obesity, diabetes, bone health)
• Digital humanities (coin distribution patterns, ceramic artifact analysis)
• Financial forecasting (discrete survival methods for invoice prediction)
