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 bridging between infectious and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and understanding how lifelong exposure to pathogens affects the risk and pathogenicity of NCDs.

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 recently 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. 

​

Girls' Science Day - April & November 2019. Organized by WISC. 

​

Science Trivia Night. Organized by CUPS outreach and communication committee. 

​

Super Saturday STEM expo. Organized by Manhattan's Community School District 5. 

​

Fall Book Club. Discussion on "Superior: The Return of Race Science", by Angela Saidi. Organized by 500WS.
