Since December 2024, I have been holding a tenure-track Junior Professor Chair in Statistics at the Medicine Faculty of the University of Montpellier, France. I am affiliated with the Desbrest Institute of Epidemiology and Public Health, a joint research unit of Inserm and the University of Montpellier.

I obtained a joint Ph.D in Statistics in 2018 from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KU Leuven) and the Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain), Belgium, under the supervision of Ingrid Van Keilegom (KU Leuven) and Catherine Legrand (UCLouvain). My thesis manuscript is available here.

Before joining the University of Montpellier, I worked as biostastistician at the Clinical Research Unit of the Nestlé Research Center in Lausanne, Switzerland, from March 2019 to August 2021, and at the Clinical Research and Epidemiology Unit of the Montpellier University Hospital from September 2022 to November 2024.

My research interests lie in survival analysis, cure models, biostatistics and clinical research.
