Carlos Coelho is a Professor of Statistics at the Mathematics Department of NOVA School of Science and Technology of NOVA University of Lisbon. His main area of research is Multivariate Analysis namely the development of likelihood ratio tests for elaborate covariance structures and for MANOVA models also with elaborate covariance structures together with the study of the exact distribution and the development of near-exact distributions for the associated test statistics. Related with this area other areas of interest are Mathematical Statistics and Distribution Theory as well as Estimation Univariate and Multivariate Linear Generalized Linear and Mixed Models. More recently he also got interested in tests for high-dimensionality and the application of Multivariate Analysis techniques to Statistical Disclosure Control problems. He is Associate Editor of the Springer Book series Emerging Topics in Statistics and Biostatistics and a member of the International Council of the Business World Library of the Tsenov Academy of Economics (Svishtov Bulgaria).
