I am currently a Glasstone Fellow at the department of statistics. I was mainly educated in France and I have a mixed academic background in life science and mathematics. I first graduated from the École Normale Supérieure with a major in life science, after which I obtained a PhD in probability theory from Sorbonne Université. My advisors were Amaury Lambert and Emmanuel Schertzer, and I was based at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research in Biology at the Collège de France. Before joining the department, I also did a one-year postdoc at the UQÀM in Montréal on epidemic modeling.

My research lies at the interface of probability theory and population biology. I study probabilistic objects arising from biologically motivated questions

I am both interested in the mathematical structure of these objects and in their application to understanding the underlying biological phenomena. Areas of interest:

• branching processes
• exchangeable coalescents
• random trees / random metric spaces
• population genetic aspects of recombination
• genetics of range expansion
• age-structured models in epidemiology
