Personal Info |
My interest in statistics really started when I was an Eurasmus undergrade student in the departement of statistics of Sheffield University (UK) in 1992. After obtaining my Master's Degree in probability from the Université de Rennes 1 (France) in 1993, I worked at France Télécom Research Center in Lannion where I developed a stochastic model for AC outages and I also analyzed the cost of powering an optical customer access network. From 1995 to 1998, I went to the Department of Statistics of Colorado State University in Fort Collins, USA. I was a PhD student working on the extreme value theory with Dr. Richard Tweedie and Dr. Richard Davis. After receiving my PhD degree in 1998, I decided to work on developing statistics to study environmental issues, and more precisely climatic data sets. For two years and a half year, I was a post-doctoral researcher at National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder (USA) where I performed a Spatial Analysis of 3D Cloud resolving models and studied the impact of extreme events such as volcanic eruptions on climate. From a more statistical point of view, I analyzed the Dependence Structure of Wavelet Coefficients using Cumulants and reduced the bias due to boundary effects present in non-parametric regression by developping a Polynomial Wavelet Regression. From January 2001 to July 2002 I was the project leader of the group ClimStat of the Institut Pierre Simon Laplace in Paris. The aim of this group is to combine expertise of researchers from various fields (climatology, chemistry, oceanography, physics, etc), in which statistics play an essential role, thereby contributing to solutions of important climatic problems for society in the coming years. From August 2002 to December 2004, I was an assistant professor in the department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Colorado in Boulder. Currently, I am a research scientist (CR1) working at the Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et l'Environnement (LSCE) (IPSL CNRS) in Gif-sur-Yvette (near Paris) in France. I am also an adjunct rank assistant professor in the department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Colorado in Boulder. My work interests are focused on theoritical and applied statistics, with an emphasis on applications related to environmental and climatic data sets. | ||||||||||
