Biography

 

Luís Meira Machado is an Associate Professor with Habilitation at the Department of Mathematics at the University of Minho, Portugal.

His research interests encompass various aspects of survival analysis, with a particular focus on multi-state models, nonparametric estimation, ROC curves, generalized additive models, and computational statistics. Recently, he has directed his attention towards applying these methodologies to the field of machine learning.

Luis’s primary scientific contributions revolve around multi-state models, where he has significantly advanced the topic of the estimation of transition probabilities. Additionally, he has made noteworthy contributions to computational statistics, including the development of R packages. His expertise also extends to smoothing methods, particularly with regard to presmoothing and additive models.

With an extensive academic portfolio, Luís has authored or co-authored more than 53 journal articles and book chapters, showcasing the depth and breadth of his contributions. His commitment to advancing statistical methodologies is further evident through the creation of 11 packages in the CRAN R repository. Furthermore, he has presented over 90 conference communications.

As a mentor, Luís has supervised 2 doctoral theses and guided the research of 3 post-doctoral researchers. Additionally, he is currently supervising two ongoing doctoral theses. His leadership extends beyond academic mentorship, as he coordinated one research project and serves as the co-Principal Investigator in two others, all funded by the Portuguese Science Foundation (FCT).

Luís has played an active role in the scientific community, serving on the scientific committees of various conferences and organizing invited sessions. His dedication to the advancement of statistical science is further reflected in his role as a frequent reviewer for leading journals in his field.

In addition to his academic responsibilities, Luís assumed the role of Head of the Department of Mathematics in March 2022. Moreover, his reputation in the field led to his election as the President of the Portuguese Statistical Society on October 13th. The inauguration of his presidency is scheduled for January 2024. These leadership roles underscore Luís's commitment to both the academic and organizational aspects of the mathematical and statistical community.
