Biosketch

Associate Professor in Biostatistics at Nantes University since 2011. Education: 2019: HDR, Nantes University 2009: PhD in Biostatistique, Bordeaux 2 University 2006: M.S. in Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Bordeaux 2 University 2005: M.S. in Applied mathematics and Modelling, Bordeaux 2  University My research concerns the development and the use of statistical approaches to study the health state evolution of patients suffering from chronic diseases. It concerns three main themes: i) modeling the natural history of chronic diseases, ii) development on predictive tools and iii) proposing patient-centered approaches for medical decision making. Essentially motivated by clinical research questions in Health, my researches focus on methodological issues from real-life settings.
