I am a member of the Probability and Statistics research group in the School of Mathematics and Statistics. I joined Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand as an Assistant Professor in 2015 after having spent one year as an Enseignante-chercheure at CREST, Laboratoire de Statistique et Modélisation, École nationale de la statistique et de l’analyse de l’information (ENSAI), France.

I obtained my PhD in Mathematics in 2011 from University of Ottawa, Canada, followed by a Postdoctoral Fellowship in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at Carleton University, Canada and a one year Visiting Professor position in the Department of Mathematics at Washington University in St. Louis, USA.
