Presentation
I am a senior researcher specialising in Bayesian Statistics at the Applied Maths and Computer Science Department of INRAE, France.
I graduated from Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan (now ENS Paris-Saclay), near Paris, and from Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, both in physics. During my master's (2009-2010), I participated in an exchange program with the National Taiwan University, where I worked in the group of Jer-Lai Kuo, at the Institute for Atomic and Molecular Science. While in Lausanne (2010-2012), I worked in the lab of Giuseppe Foffi in collaboration with Davide Fiocco and Hans-Joerg Limbach, and in the lab of Félix Naef in collaboration with Jonathan Bieler. In April 2012, I moved to the Institute for Scientific Interchange in Turin for an internship in the group of Vittoria Colizza, where I worked with Paolo Bajardi and Michele Tizzoni. In October 2012, I joined the Laboratoire de Biométrie et de Biologie Evolutive at Université Claude Bernard, Lyon, to start a PhD under the supervision of Sandrine Charles and Marie-Laure Delignette-Muller, which I defended in October 2015. During this PhD in biostatistics applied to ecotoxicology, I studied the ecological risk of contaminants (e.g., pesticides). In collaboration with experimental biologists, I developed several improvements to the analysis of ecotoxicological data. I later focused on more theoretical topics as a post-doctorate. I joined the Bayesian Nonparametrics group of Igor Prünster and Matteo Ruggiero at the Collegio Carlo Alberto and the Università degli Studi di Torino to work on Bayesian Nonparametrics and inference for state-space models. Since January 2020, I have been a permanent researcher at the Applied Maths and Computer Science Department of INRAE.
My scientific contributions concern censored data analysis, Bayesian hierarchical modelling, survival data analysis, Bayesian Nonparametric (BNP) density estimation and mixture models, dependent BNP processes and inference for hidden diffusion processes.
