Hi, welcome to my webpage!
I am a postdoctoral researcher working in the CRESS METHODS team under the supervision of Raphaël Porcher and François Petit. My current work aims to assess the effect of lung transplantation for certain diseases by performing emulated target trials. Another focus is to look for ways to improve lung association scores using causal inference tools.
In November 2023 I completed my PhD in statistics under the supervision of Etienne Roquain (LPSM, Sorbonne Université) and Sebastian Döhler (Hochschule Darmstadt). My thesis research lies in the field of multiple testing: the goal is to propose new approaches ensuring control of the false discovery proportion either in probability (uniform tail bounds) or in expectation (false discovery rate) while accounting for various constraints and structures such as
- data observed in an online fashion;
- discrete data, e.g., coming from contingency tables;
- pre-ordered data, e.g., when a natural order either emerges from the same data or is fixed by advance.
You can find my thesis manuscript here and the defense slides here.
