I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in statistics at Inria Grenoble Rhône-Alpes, working with Julyan Arbel and Florence Forbes.

My scientific interests lie in model-based statistical methods, addressing questions in life sciences. I am particularly interested in nonparametric models with latent variables. My PhD research focused on designing novel statistical tools for analyzing ecological networks.

In November 2023, I have defended my PhD in Applied Mathematics at Université Paris-Saclay under the supervision of Stéphane Robin, Sophie Donnet and François Massol. Before that, I received a Master in Applied Mathematics from Institut Polytechnique de Paris, after completing the joint Mathematics for Life Sciences program with Université Paris-Saclay. In a past life, I studied aeronautics and aviation engineering and worked as a software engineer.
