Her research interests include survival analysis, non- and semiparametric regression, quantile regression, measurement errors, and mathematical statistics.[1]

Education and career

[edit]

Van Keilegom earned a licentiate in mathematical sciences from Universitaire Instelling Antwerpen in 1993, a master's degree in biostatistics from Limburgs Universitair Centrum in 1998,[1] and a doctorate in statistics from Limburgs Universitair Centrum in 1998. Her dissertation, Nonparametric estimation of the conditional distribution in regression with censored data, was supervised by Noël Veraverbeke.[1][2]

After working as an assistant professor at Pennsylvania State University (1998-1999) and Eindhoven University of Technology (1999-2000), she returned to Belgium in 2000 with a position at the Université catholique de Louvain. In 2016 she switched her full professorship there to a part-time position, to take another full professorship at KU Leuven.[1]
