Holder of a Chaire de Professeur Junior (CPJ) in data science for health at Université Paris-Saclay, I conduct research in the Exposome and Heredity team at the Center for Research in Epidemiology and Population Health (CESP Inserm) and teach at the Graduate school of Public Health. Previously, I was an assistant professor (maître de conférences) in the applied mathematics laboratory MAP5 at Université Paris Cité.

Research

I am interested in developing and applying new statistical methods to analyze complex epidemiological and medical data. My research interests include causal inference and machine learning.
