Stefano Peluso

Stefano Peluso is an Associate Professor in the Department of Statistics and Quantitative Methods at the University of Milano-Bicocca. His academic appointments include:

• Current: Associate Professor, University of Milano-Bicocca
• Former: Assistant Professor, Catholic University of the Sacred Heart (2015-2020)

Peluso's research centers on Bayesian statistics and network analysis with applications in epidemiology and biostatistics. He develops advanced spatio-temporal models for public health crises, specializing in dependency structures in mixed-type data and longitudinal networks. His methodological innovations bridge machine learning and statistical inference to address pandemic forecasting and cardiovascular event prediction, supporting evidence-based healthcare decision-making.

His 2024 publications reveal a cohesive research trajectory focused on Bayesian network structures for dependency learning and spatio-temporal prediction. Five articles demonstrate consistent application of these methods to real-world health challenges—from COVID-19 forecasting using neural networks to cardiovascular event modeling—highlighting an interdisciplinary approach that transforms complex health data into actionable public health insights during emergencies.

Peluso leads significant research initiatives funded by the Lombardy Region and Italian Ministry of University and Research, including the 'InPreSa' project for SARS-CoV-2 detection and Bayesian network models for pandemic risk forecasting. These projects reflect his commitment to deploying statistical science against societal threats, though no student advising details appear in the available records.
