Fabrizio Ruggeri

Fabrizio Ruggeri is an Italian statistician. He is a research director at the National Research Council Istituto di matematica applicata e tecnologie informatiche (CNR-IMATI) in Milan, Italy. His work focusses on Bayesian methods, specifically robustness and stochastic process inference. He has done innovative work on the sensitivity of Bayesian methods and incompletely specified priors. He has worked on Bayesian wavelet methods, and on a vast variety of applications to industrial problems. His publications include well over 150 refereed papers and book chapters, as well as five books.

Education and career
Ruggeri was born in Reggio nell'Emilia in northern Italy. He received his B.Sc. in mathematics at the University of Milan in 1982. From 1983 to 1988, he took on a series of jobs in the industry. He moved to the US to continue study in 1988, receiving a M.Sc. in statistics from Carnegie Mellon University in 1989, and his PhD in statistics from Duke University in 1994. Ruggeri was an adjunct faculty member at the Polytechnic University of Milan between 1995 and 2003. He became a professor at the University of Pavia since 1999 and since 2015, he is also professor at the University of Milano-Bicocca.

Ruggeri is an elected member of the International Statistical Institute and a fellow of the American Statistical Association, the International Society for Bayesian Analysis (ISBA) and the Institute of Mathematical Statistics. He is the first recipient of the Zellner Medal by ISBA. He was the president of the International Society for Bayesian Analysis in 2012 and the European Network for Business and Industrial Statistics in 2005–6, and is currently President of the International Society for Business and Industrial Statistics and vice-president of the International Statistical Institute. He is Editor-in-Chief of Applied Stochastic Models in Business and Industry and of Statistics Reference Online.
