I am an 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. My research focuses on Bayesian computational statistics (MCMC and ABC methods) and applications to Linguistics.
Current responsibilities:
Director of the Master 2 Mathématiques, Apprentissage, Sciences et Humanités (MASH) with Christian Robert
Director of the of the Executive Master Statistique et Big Data with Fabrice Rossi
Organizer of the montly Rencontres statistiques du CEREMADE at Dauphine with Angelina Roche
Secretary of the Bayesian group at Société Française de Statistique; I manage the Bayes-France newsletter and the @BayesFr Twitter and Mastodon accounts.
I strive to fly less.
PhD opportunity: I currently have an opening for a PhD scholarship (co-supervised by myself and Emmanuel Chemla, Linguist at ENS) on statistical methods to reconstruct the history of animal communication. Funding is provided by CNRS 80 Prime. Contact me if interested.
