Research Focus

Fiocco specializes in time-varying covariates for survival data, addressing methodological challenges in representing dynamic clinical processes. Her work enhances personalized treatments for cardiological and oncological patients through:

• Developing flexible monitoring tools
• Optimizing time-to-event modeling
• Integrating clinical interpretability with mathematical rigor

Recent research trends show emphasis on pharmacoepidemiology, longitudinal data, and functional data analysis applied to chemotherapy and disease progression.

Scientific Contributions

• Supervised 5 current and 5 former PhD candidates
• Published foundational work in survival analysis
• Collaborated internationally (e.g., Weill Cornell Medical College)
