Eduardo Adame Salles

Olá! My name is Eduardo Adame, and I'm a PhD student in the School of Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh and the Maxwell Institute for Mathematical Sciences, supervised by Jordan Richards and Miguel de Carvalho. My PhD is fully funded by a School of Mathematics studentship, and my research focuses on generative AI for statistics of extremes.

I hold a master's degree in Applied Mathematics from the School of Applied Mathematics of the Getulio Vargas Foundation (FGV EMAp). There, supervised by Luiz Max de Carvalho and co-supervised by Flávio B. Gonçalves, I developed exact computation methods for the Normalised Power Prior. I also contributed to work on uncertainty quantification for generative image restoration using conformal prediction, and worked on Gaussian processes for emulating functions.

Beyond research, I have worked on applied projects. From July 2023 to June 2025, I was a consultant at The World Bank, carrying out a geospatial counterfactual analysis of the impact of protected areas on carbon emissions in Latin America and the Caribbean. I have also worked with Brazil's Ministry of Finance, evaluating and statistically validating legal data systems.
