Dr Milena Falcaro PhD

Research Fellow in Biostatistics and Programming

Milena has a degree (laurea) in Statistical and Economic Sciences and a PhD in Statistics, both from the University of Padua (Italy). Her PhD thesis was on methods for multivariate survival times. She worked for several years at the Biostatistics Group of the University of Manchester, where she strengthened her expertise especially in structural equation modelling and multilevel data analysis. Before joining the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine in September 2010 she was Senior Statistician at the Health Methodology Research Group, University of Manchester.
