Ingrid VAN KEILEGOM

Ingrid VAN KEILEGOM is a Full Professor at the Catholic University of Louvain (UCL), affiliated with the Institute of Statistics, Biostatistics and Actuarial Sciences. Her research spans survival analysis, econometrics, nonparametric methods, and copula theory, with significant contributions to statistical methodology for censored data and regression models.

Research Expertise

Professor Van Keilegom's work focuses on developing innovative statistical methods for complex data structures. Key areas include:

• Survival/duration analysis with cure models and dependent censoring
• Econometric techniques for instrumental variables and frontier models
• Semiparametric regression for measurement error problems
• Copula-based dependence modeling in multivariate settings

Publication Trends

Her recent publications (2015-2016) demonstrate a strong focus on semiparametric methods for censored data, frontier estimation in econometrics, and goodness-of-fit testing. Common themes include developing robust inference procedures for survival models, addressing endogeneity in econometric applications, and creating validation techniques for complex regression structures.

Awards and Honors

• Fellow, Institute of Mathematical Statistics (2008)
• Fellow, American Statistical Association (2013)
• ERC Advanced Grant (2016-2021): Semiparametric inference for complex structural models
• ERC Starting Grant (2008-2014): M-/Z-estimation in semiparametric statistics

Academic Leadership

She supervises 5 doctoral students and has graduated 7 PhDs since 2005. Her editorial leadership includes serving as Joint Editor for Journal of the Royal Statistical Society - Series B (2012-2015) and associate roles in 6 other statistical journals. Research is supported by major grants including two European Research Council awards.
