Anish Mukherjee is a Research Fellow at the Faculty of Economics, University of Italian Switzerland (USI) in Lugano, Switzerland, working under Professor Antonietta Mira. His role focuses on developing statistical methodologies for complex biomedical data analysis within an economics faculty context.

He earned his PhD in Biostatistics from the University of Louisville under Jeremy Gaskins' supervision.

His research integrates advanced statistical techniques with biomedical applications, specializing in Bayesian approaches for high-dimensional dependent data. Key methodological contributions include zero-inflated count data models, heterogeneity detection frameworks for longitudinal outcomes, and nonparametric Bayesian methods using stochastic differential equations. Applied work spans microbiome analysis related to neurological treatments, infectious disease transmission modeling, maternal health disparities, wastewater-based SARS-CoV-2 surveillance, and air pollution-COVID-19 outcome relationships.
