I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the INRIA team SIMBA at Université de Lorraine under the supervision of Coralie Fritsch and Denis Villemonais. I am also a member of the Probabilities and Statistics team of the Institut Elie Cartan de Lorraine (IECL).
Previously, I was a PhD student at Laboratoire Analyse, Géométrie et Applications (LAGA), Université Sorbonne Paris Nord, under the supervision of Bénédicte Haas, Bastien Mallein et Laurent Tournier. I defended my thesis "Approche quasi-stationnaire pour l'étude de modèles de maladies génétiques complexes" in December 2024.
My research lies in the domain of probability theory and its application to mathematical biology. My current interests are in: Markov processes, quasi-stationnary distributions, stochastic growth-fragmentation-coagulation processes, and the modelling of complex genetic disorders.
