I have recently arrived as an associate professor (maître de conférences) in the
CEREMADE at Université Paris Dauphine.
I have just completed a postdoc with Christian Robert in CREST at INSEE, funded by the GIS Sciences de la Décision (ENSAE - HEC - Polytechnique) and Fondation Sciences Mathématiques de Paris. My research focuses on computational statistics (MCMC and ABC methods) and applications to Linguistics.
Until 2009, I was a DPhil student working under the supervision of Geoff Nicholls in the Department of Statistics of the University of Oxford. Our research there focused on Phylogenetic analyses of language diversification using lexical data, with estimation via MCMC. A beta version of the corresponding software, TraitLab, is available on request. Before studying at Oxford, I was in the Maths Department of the École normale supérieure in Paris.
