Short bio:
María Dolores (Lola) Martínez-Miranda is full professor of
Statistics in the University of Granada (Spain). She started her research
career with a PhD on local linear regression and bandwidth selection at the
University of Granada. In 2012 she was awarded with an individual Fellowship
for career development in the Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowships framework for
two years. As Senior Research Fellow in Bayes (formerly Cass) Business School, City,
University of London, and with Prof. Jens P. Nielsen, she developed an
interdisciplinary research project in Mathematics with high impact in the
insurance industry. The project gave explicit solutions to the perhaps single
most important methodological issue of Solvency II: monitoring the risk of
outstanding liabilities. This fellowship has had an extremely positive impact
on her scientific career, which benefits from diversification and
internationalization. International appointments include postdoctoral stays at
the University of Mannheim (Prof. Enno Mammen), University of Oxford (Prof. Bent
Nielsen), University of Berkeley (Prof. Nicholas Jewell), University of Geneva
and University of Göttingen (Prof. Stefan Sperlich), and KU Leuven (Prof. Ingrid
Van Keilegom). Currently she keeps active and
fruitful international collaborations especially with Bayes Business School,
where she is Honorary Visiting Professor.
Her research interests focus on theoretical and methodological
aspects in the non-parametric estimation of fundamental functions in Statistics
(density, hazard and intensity and regression), as well as applications in
actuarial science, epidemiology, and demography. She has published more than
forty papers in JCR including Journal of the Royal Statistical Series B and A, Biometrika and Journal of the American Statistical
Association. She is part of an internationally recognized research group in
non-parametric statistics in Spain, leaded by Prof. Wencelao
González Manteiga (University of Santiago de Compostela).
She is Associate Editor of Computational Statistics and Data
Analysis, Journal of Nonparametric Statistics, and Econometrics and Statistics.
In November 2023 she was designated as president-elect of the
Spanish Society of Statistics and Operations Research (SEIO).
