ABOUT ME
I have a background in mathematics and obtained a PhD in Public Health, biostatistics from the University of Bordeaux in October 2018. I have substantial expertise in analysing large-scale clinical and immunological datasets using mathematical, statistical, and machine learning approaches. I have worked among international teams and networks, on topics ranging from HIV immunotherapies and vaccine, response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and infection, Ebola vaccine, dengue vaccine, immune recovery after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation, and gender medicine. I have interest in understanding the diversity of immune response in human populations, and the factors influencing this diversity (particularly those linked to social structures and inequities).

SCIENCE OUTREACH
I am interested in and try to be involved in communication and outreach events, particularly with children/teenagers. This way, I hope I can give another perspective on science to mid- and high-school students, and maybe inspire some of them to be more curious about the world and to pursue a scientific path. I also hope I can help in improving the representation of women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) fields. In New York, I have joined the CUPS (Columbia University Postdoctoral Society) outreach and communication committee, and the 500 Women Scientists group.
Some events I have attended or been involved in:
D4P: Modeling, Math, and Social Mixing. Organized by RockEDU Science Outreach.
​
Spring Book Club. Discussion on "Weapons of Math Destruction", by Cathy O'Neil. Organized by 500WS.
