Isa Marques

Education

Isa Marques was born in Lisbon in 1993. She completed her B.Sc. in Economics at the Universidade Nova de Lisboa and her M.Sc. in Economics with specialization in Econometrics and Statistics at the University of Bonn. Employed at the Chair of Statistics, she is currently working in sub-project 11 and focuses on semiparametric regression with nonstationary spatial dependence structures.

PhD Research Project

Semiparametric regression with nonstationary spatial dependence structures

PhD Thesis

Her thesis entitled: "Advances in continuous space spatial statistics: from non-stationary to spatial confounding" was submitted in January 2021 and defended in March 2021. Since April 2021 Isa Marques holds a postdoc position funded by a Start-up fund of the RTG 2300 and is working on a computationally efficient multi-resolution model to account for between-and within-plot spatial dependence of the RTG’s plot data.
