Education and career
editVannucci earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics in 1992, from the University of Florence. She completed her doctorate in statistics in 1996 at the same institution.[2] Her dissertation, supervised by Antonio Moro, was On the Application of Wavelets in Statistics.[3] After postdoctoral research at the University of Kent, she joined the faculty at Texas A&M University in 1998, and moved to Rice in 2007.
She was editor-in-chief of Bayesian Analysis for 2013–2015,[2] and was elected president of the International Society for Bayesian Analysis for the 2018 term.[4]
Awards and honors
editVannucci is a fellow of the American Statistical Association (2006),[2] the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (2009),[2][5] the American Association for the Advancement of Science (2012),[2][6] and the International Society for Bayesian Analysis (2014), and an elected member of the International Statistical Institute (2007).[2] The citation for her IMS fellowship credits her "for fundamental contributions to the theory and practice of Bayesian methods for variable selection, and of wavelet-based modeling, and for mentorship of young researchers".[5] She was given the Noah Harding Chair in 2016.[7]
