Luiz Max Carvalho
Hi there,
I am a Lecturer (Professor Adjunto) at the School of Applied Mathematics (EMAp), Getulio Vargas Foundation (FGV). I hold a BSc in Microbiology and Immunology from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) and a PhD in Evolutionary Biology from the University of Edinburgh (United Kingdom).
Biological processes (such as mutation, selection, development, infection, etc
I teach courses on Statistical Inference (undergraduate, graduate), Computational Statistics and Bayesian Statistics. See my CV for more information on papers and other academic publications (Google Scholar Profile). A collection of presentations I have given over the years is also available.
