Senior Lecturer
  • PhD in  Statistics (Université  Pierre and Marie Curie, Paris 6, France and University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia, 2016)
  • MSc in Mathematics (Université  Pierre and Marie Curie, Paris 6, 2011)

School of Mathematics & Statistics

My research is in theoretical and computational statistics. In particular, I am interested in Extreme Value Theory (EVT) with applications to extreme environmental events (floods, heat waves, air pollution, ...). I am also interested in Symbolic Data Analysis, an emerging field of statistics which aims at analysing data which arise (or are transformed) in a non-standard form.
