In July 2019 I had the opportunity to travel to Palermo, Italy, to give a talk at the European Meeting of Statisticians, the largest statistics conference in Europe. In my talk entitled “Sparsely observed functional time series: estimation and prediction” I spoke about my first paper carrying the same name.
Besides the conference, I enjoyed the summer spirit of Palermo, swimming in the Mediterranean sea, eating all the pizza and sea food, and tasting Italian wine. On top of that, this was the first conference I’ve been to where ice-cream was served!
