Education
editHe received his PhD in Statistics in January 1983 at Imperial College London supervised by David Roxbee Cox and Peter McCullagh.[2]
Research
editCurrently, Cordeiro is a Class A researcher of the Brazilian Research Council-CNPq, Full Professor at Federal University of Pernambuco (Brazil) and Member of the Graduate Program in Statistics at the same university. He has published more than 360 research articles in international scientific journals with referee practice (2015) and supervised more than 60 MSc dissertations and DSc theses. He was also president of the Associação Brasileira de Estatística, 2000–2002. He was one of the founder editors of the Brazilian Journal of Probability and Statistics and its Editor in Chief between 1995 and 2000. Cordeiro's main research interests in Statistics include Asymptotic Theory, Distribution Theory and Regression Models. He created, developed and organized several statistical meetings in Brazil and abroad. He has acted as referee for several important statistical journals[citation needed]. In 2010, Cordeiro awarded from the Brazilian Government the National Medal for Scientific Merit at the order of Comendador. He is a member of the Academy of Sciences of Pernambuco (Brazil).
