I am an Associate Professor in Statistics at Imperial College London. My research focuses on Bayesian computational statistics (MCMC and ABC methods), and on stochastic modelling for Linguistics and other Social Sciences. Until 2024, I was Associate Professor (maître de conférences HDR) in Statistics in the CEREMADE, Université Paris-Dauphine. From 2014 to 2017, I was also an associate member in the DMA at École Normale Supérieure.
I strive to fly less.
