About me
I am an Assistant Professor of Statistics at ESSEC Business School.
Prior to that, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Statistics at the University of Oxford working with Arnaud Doucet. I defended my PhD in 2021 and I was advised by Randal Douc, François Roueff and François Portier. My PhD thesis is available here and I received the first prize of IP Paris Best Thesis Award 2022 for it.
My current research lies in the field of Approximate Inference. In particular, I am interested in Variational Inference methods which go beyond the commonly-used parametric variational distribution framework and which involve flexible families of divergence measures (e.g. the $\alpha$-divergence family).
