Eliana Duarte

Starting May 2023 I am an Assistant Professor of Probability and Statistics at the Departamento de Matemática, Universidade do Porto. Previously my research was funded by the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia and I led the Research Group in Algebraic Statistics at Max-Planck-Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig. My research focuses on solving statistical problems using algebraic geometry, commutative algebra and combinatorics.
