Dr. Antonio Linero

Biography

Antonio (Tony) Linero joined the University of Texas at Austin faculty in 2019 after serving as an assistant professor in the Department of Statistics at Florida State University. He is a member of the International Society for Bayesian Analysis and the American Statistical Association, and serves as an associate editor for the journal Biometrics. In 2015, Linero received the Laplace Award from the Section on Bayesian Statistical Science of the American Statistical Association. His research is supported by the National Science Foundation and includes work with the Science Test Research Consortium. Linero focuses on developing flexible and appropriate Bayesian methods for complex longitudinal data, including model selection and variable selection tools within a Bayesian nonparametric framework for high-dimensional problems. His work also explores Bayesian nonparametrics in missing data and causal inference problems, addressing challenges that analysts face when estimating low-dimensional effects and making unverifiable assumptions.
