Mohamed Ndaoud (Simo)

I am an Associate Professor (with tenure) of Statistics at ESSEC Business School, and a member of the Statistics Department of CREST. Prior to that I was an Assistant Professor (RTPC) in the department of Mathematics at USC since August 2019, where I was working with Stas Minsker. 

I have received a PhD in theoretical statistics, under the supervision of A.B. Tsybakov.  My research interests are in high dimensional statistics. In particular, I have worked during my PhD on variable selection, estimation and community detection in the high dimensional setting. I am also interested in  robust statistics, stochastic processes, harmonic analysis, random matrix theory and spiked models.

You can find here my PhD thesis.
