Bio

 

I hold a degree with honors in Mathematics from the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) in 1992. I obtained a PhD in Mathematics in 1996 from the UCM with 'Cum Laude' honors. I am currently Professor at the Department of Statistics and Operational Research at the Faculty of Mathematics of Complutense University of Madrid as well as Visiting Professor in the Women’s Health Research Unit at Blizard Institute at Queen Mary University of London. I have been scientific visitor in several Universities and Research Centers such Stanford University, University of Southern California, Universidad Miguel Hernández, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic or McMaster University. Most of these visits have been supported by different competitive grants: Expert Exchange Program of the Ministry of Education and Science, Complutense Travel Grant, ERASMUS Program-Mobility of Teachers, Del Amo Grant and Program of the Ministry of Education for stays of professors and senior researchers in centers higher education and research "Salvador of Madariaga" Program.

I have been leading research projects since 2010 but I have been taking part in any since 1993. A total of 28 research projects and 11 of them as PI: 2 integrated Hispanic-Greek actions, 11 National Projects, 1 Project European (NATO), 2 Precompetitive of the UCM and 12 Grants to Research Groups co-financed by the Autonomous Community of Madrid (CAM) and UCM.

Furthermore, I am Guest Editor of Special Issues of CSDA and Mathematics JCR journals and editor of the Springer book Trends in Mathematical, Information and Data Sciences. Finally, I serve the scientific community as area editor of international journals such as TEST and Communications in Statistics.

 

Research interests

 

My research interests are in Biostatistics, Survival Analysis, Assessment of diagnostic markers, Joint models for longitudinal data and survival data, Longitudinal Data, Surrogate markers and Missing data. (for details, see www.mat.ucm.es/~mcapardo). I lead a node of the BIOSTATNET network and the ‘UCM-962004 Biostatistics’ research group.

I have co-authored more than 100 research papers in refereed journals such as Statistical Methods in Medical Research, Biometrical Journal, Pharmaceutical Statistics, BMJ Open, Journal of Clinical Anesthesia, Anesthesia, IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, Computational Statistics and Data Analysis, TEST, Journal of Multivariate Analysis and Journal of Statistical Planning and Inference.
